 Cathedral   

Really more of a photo journey up Cathedral via the Cathedral Lake TH. There are not many late summer reports, so I decided to add a link to my photo site. The crux gully is the real deal this time of year. It is very steep and very loose. I found it impossible not to kick down a few rocks, especially on the way down. Hope the photos help anyone thinking about heading up for the fall color. I really enjoyed this hike, beautiful mountain!

That was rotten enough in June and the gully was still half full of snow. No way I'd want to climb it now. Great photos!
