Tom Halpin leading the second pitch of the South East Buttress of Cathedral Peak.  
     
 
  On this pic of looking down from the third pitch, it is easily seen how climbable the fine grained granite cracks are on this superb route.
The down jacket is just for show, since we needed some product shots for Tom's down gear company, Nunatak.
   
 
Tom beginning the 6th pitch, which is yet another splendid affair in a long row of memorable pitches.
Way up above us, on the headwall, one can make out an ominous looking off width crack. This is Pete Doorish's original route. We had learned, however, that a less intimidating 5.10 finger crack shoots up just to the right, saving the effort of hauling big cams all the way in here..
