Cathedral Peak Beta

Post by Dan_Suitor »

I am hoping to do Cathedral this weekend. The latest condition report shows the bottom of the couloir melted out, but it does not mention much more. With the warm weather, I am sure more of it has melted but hoping it held enough to make it a snow climb on the upper section.

Has anybody been up there recently? Was any floatation needed? How is the trail? Any information would be helpful.

Thanks
Dan
Century Bound, eventually.

I'd be skeptical of doing any snow climbs right now as we haven't had an overnight freeze in a week or two. This heat wave kind of put an immediate end to couloir season :(
