IMG_4862.JPG3 viewsCathedral Peak from .08 miles south of 9700' Cathedral Pass. The lower, left (west) summit is Eichorn Pinnacle; North Face, I, 5.4. The east summit has many routes, the easiest is the West Face, class 4. The classic route is the grade II, 5.5 Southeast Buttress route, (just left of the right skyline in the photo). I did that route and then the North Face of Eichorn Pinnacle from the saddle July 26, 1971, and the Southeast Buttress again October 8, 1988.
