If folks are interested this can be a two for one weekend climb by adding Cathedral Rock to the agenda. Cathedral Rock is a fun multi-pitch basic rock climb. This will require an early start Friday, June 15 and will add a night of camping on route to Mount Daniel basecamp Friday evening. I will edit the climb and add Cathedral Rock if folks respond favorably.
