Forgot to share this write up, may be of interest while the high peaks finally get some snow. Climbed it on Halloween hence the costumes....

Great little climb! I remember a similar climb down valley where I got attacked by ants while belaying in a tree! Everyone thinks of Yosemite Valley as big granite walls - well there is plenty of brush too! This is not the only climb that one has to bushwhack to get to. Thanks for the report. Brings back memories.

Yeah I think Lower Cathedral Spire is notorious for an ant infested tree, hope to get on top of that one soon!

Here's my summit photo, circa 1982. Thanks for the reminder of what an enjoyable outing it was.

Wow what a great photo! I think some of that webbing is still wrapped around as the summit anchor today!
