| WML | Middle | |
| T-stormed off of Paradise Lost... Lines were too long on the other classics and the first few pitches of the Kor-Beck just weren't very attractive... | |

| Vitaliy M. | East Buttress of MC/Central Pillar of Frenzy Date Climbed: Aug 27, 2011 | |
| Cool route with a good friend Bryan. We were on our way to attempt N buttress of Mt. Goode but t-storms on the east side pushed us to climb in the valley instead. Was a great choice! 9/25/2011 Central Pillar of Frenzy, also with Bryan. My favorite pure rock climb ever, by a mile!!! 9/25/2011 | |

| kovarpa | Higher Cathedral Spire Date Climbed: Jun 26, 2010 | |
| Regular route, with Carol. Lead all pitches. We did the original variation on the second pitch and I found it quite challenging. Great route in a great setting, the approach kinda sucks :-) | |

| Steve Larson | Oof! Date Climbed: May 16, 2010 | |
| NE buttress on Higher Cathedral Rock. 3.5 hours to the halfway point, thinking we were gonna cruise it, then the real climbing started. I was so trashed by the end that I had to prussik up the rope to get past the final 5.9 OW. | |

| Climbed in 9 pitches in about 8.5 hours with Michal. 5.9+ roof on Supertopo finish was f* hard. I had other memorable moments (aka squeeze chimney and "burly 5.10) on the route... highly recommended. | |

| Steve1215 | North Buttress, Middle Cathedral Date Climbed: Jun 21, 1979 | |
| Ahhh, the good old days. Climbed the NB with a strong Central Valley farmboy who I met in Camp 4. Nice fellow. Slept in the Gunsight on the way down. The day before that, I climbed The Braille Book with a very pleasant teen-aged girl named Claudia. I wonder where she is now...(a really great route, btw) A few months later--in Sept 79--climbed the East Buttress with a Scotsman named Iain. I think soon after a couple guys were killed on this route...their belay was a manzanita bush, which pulled out. | |

| snowflake | HCR / HCS Date Climbed: Oct 4, 1989 | |
| October ascent of Northeast Buttress on HCR in 1989 - had to bivy 2/3 the way up when ran out of daylight (in middle of sleepless night saw a car stop near mine - when got back down there was a note from the ranger saying "call your wife - she is worried"). A few years later did an October ascent of HCS; regular route. | |
