The Cliffs of Red Cathedral

[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]

Seen from the saddle between Red Cathedral and Manly Beacon. Red Cathedral is NOT climbable from here; the rock is too unstable for protective gear, and the cliffs are too steep for all but the best and/or craziest free soloists. Better idea: take the hiking route and live to climb another day.

Reverse logic ?

Voted 10/10

By explaning the difficulty
of the climb, people will
want to examine it themselves.
When they drive all the way
out here, they'll discover it
is not climbable from HERE.
That makes you the messenger,
and nobody wants to shoot the
messenger. You come out clean,
and the people who came out
to DV end up taking the trail!
Very good, Bob! I like it!!

	Hasn't voted	I just hope they don't get pissed at me for leading them here only to find they can't climb it and have to do all that backtracking!

	Voted 10/10	You can please SOME of the people some of the time. There's always going to be people playing the age-old blame game. It's always worth it to do some "exploritory" driving, or perhaps invest in a guidebook or hiking book. Planning would be the key, especially with the price of gasoline the way it is. Good luck with your future trips; hope you can find a satisfying place to recreate in the mountains or wilderness. It's there for all of us to enjoy. Take care, Bob. - Larry
