Is the NW Buttress route clear of snow?

Did you do the Third Pillar of Dana?

Did you climb Clyde Minaret?

Which mountain will you want to know about next?

I got no feedback on Clyde, so that's still up in the air.

My partner for this weekend is sick, so no Dana; I'm considering a solo of Tenaya-Matthes-Cathedral.

That's a good day . I soloed Tenaya , a bunch of Echo's , and Cathedral , what a great day that was ....

The crux was getting back to my car at Tenaya parking lot after you exit Cathedral parking lot .... Have Fun!

Agreed; I did the linkup, + Eichorn, last season, and had a blast. Once I was down I figured there's a good chance I'd get on it every year. And here we are.

There was still quite a bit of snow on Tenaya last weekend.

Ya Tenaya still has alot of snow on the route, looks like you might have to wait a bit before doing it. I heard third pillar is good to go, snow at the base but manageable if you know your shit.

There's still snow on Tenaya- maybe 2 patches? I soloed it yesterday, it was all easily bypassed.

Here are a few pics from yesterday. Don't worry about carrying too much water for the linkup; there are many streams right now.

The shortest way to go distance-wise is to drop down the drainage from Cathedral Lakes below Pywiack Dome. The only reason to go to the Cathedral Lakes TH is if you have a car shuttle, are planning to take the park shuttle or want to add another 7.6 miles.
Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
