SE Buttress Route Variations from the Base(Photo Topo)

August 28, 2010 - Various lines one can take for the SE Buttress of Cathedral Peak, seen from the East during the approach. As you can see, you really can just pick your own line, and not worry too much about staying 'on route'. This is a view of the beginning pitches from the base of what SuperTopo calls 'Variation A'. Referenced from SuperTopo. I have not climbed all of the variations shown, so some my lines are based on my best interpretation of the hand drawn topo. I've intentionally left out some detail for clarity and to avoid copying too much of the guidebook info. This is a high resolution photo. Click to enlarge and see the detail.
