The Monk, with Cathedral Peak looming behind, on the left. Monks 300 foot south face is littered with routes, mostly the work of the enigmatic Pete Doorish, and nearly all hard. Maybe the climbing is better than it looks, but we spent a long time making out what goes where, and found only one or two routes in the lower grades that really looked good. This said without ever laying hands on the thing.

The shallow seasonal tarn between Cathedral Lake and Cathedral Pass (imaginative nomenclature in here), where we camped. In the background is the inspiring north face of Amphitheater Mountain, 8358'. Several routes are described here and there on this face, but scope for more is overwhelming. Clean looking rock, for sure.
