Park at the turn in the approach road; take the trail going straight up (i think it may say "funhouse and pooh". The route actually begins in an alcove which you have to reach after a short grade 4 scramble. It is identified by two inside corners, the lefthand of which is your route.

Route Description

Pitch 1:

climb along the slab for about 30 feet into the left inside corner. Layback and stem up the crack/corner system (pin) for another 20-30 feet or so (5.7) and exit onto a ledge. Follow another crack, the over a slab, to another ledge with a tree (fixed slings). Belay here or, with a 60 meter rope, continue up easy 5.4-type rock to a big, wide ledge and belay there, also at a tree (this might make the route 2 pitches instead of three, but i haven't tried it yet).

Pitch 2: from the big ledge, continue up the crack system, beginning with a 5.7 crux. Follow it to an overhang, step left and exit onto a ledge with trees. Belay on one of the trees.

Pitch 3: scramble along grade-4 type rock to the main ledge splitting Cathedral. From here routes on the Upper Left Wall can be accessed.

Essential Gear

a normal rack with emphasis on medium-sized cams, though a couple of big ones won't hurt either. A few long slings are a good idea.
