Just a few minor corrections that you may want to look at:
then scrambling over big rocking granite stones for a couple of hours through sticky black widow spider webs
1. The rocks on The Cathedral are quartzite rather than granite.
2. The spiders that hang out in those rocks aren't black widows-too cold for them at that elevation. I'm not sure what they are, but they aren't black widows and are common in all the boulderfields throughout the Uintas.
Well I am learning something new. The spiders looked black-widow-like to me. But they actually had yellow-backs not red, if I recall. Either way, I didn't want to shake hands. Thanks for the corrections.

Very minor correctionsNice report! The Cathedral is a nice mountain.

No caribou or wolves are in the Uintas either.
