A short video of the Cathedral Peak and Eichorn Pinnacle climb. Jordan and I must have been tired, because we filmed next to nothing on this section of the road :). KB
It's ******* 30. We're going to Cathedral Peak. We'll park right outside the trailhead.
Yeah and climb it all day. Alpine style. Alpine style.
All right it's our last day in the valley. We're heading to
12 Ney Meadows. So we're going up Tioga Road. We're going to the Alpine.
It's gonna be a long day so we're gonna wake up early. We have to think good about waking up
early at all. And uh, we're gonna do a long day of climbing.
50 classics.
Southeast Butchers. That's the Mathes Crest over there.
Lakes and the whole 12 Ney Meadows.
We're going up this system. Double cracks to get to the summit.
Supposed to be a nice, I hope it's hand crack above that. I don't think it is but
it's good stuff out here. Having fun. Doing a 50 classic. Just sweet.
Checking this climb off in 12 Ney. All right here we are at the top of Cathedral Spire.
360 degree views. This summit is literally the size for like three people.
So it's pretty good. Pretty awesome up here. This is all of the Tuolumne Meadows.
There's the Eikola Pinnacle. We're gonna go down and try to climb that guy too.
And you can see Half Dome off in the distance. And then back to the cars over that way.
Someone was up there. Just came back down and around.
Deciding if we want to do the pinnacle over there.
All right we are standing here on top of the Eikola Pinnacle which is our tower that you
can see in the top of Cathedral Peak which we were just over there on the summit. And
came up. Our second summit of the day. Pretty tiring but pretty sweet.
Good alpine day. A lot of granite domes around. It's pretty beautiful California.
And time to come back down to the patch. I think Jordan is signing the summit register.
All right this is the descent from the peak. We're just up there.
A little while ago. Just descended. Sun is setting. You've got the Mathis Crest over there.
So there are domes and the moon. And back down the trail towards the car.
