Catra runs 50 miles, climbs a 5 pitch route, AND runs ANOTHER 50 miles!

Cathedral Range Traverse

On September 3, 1988 I made a complete traverse of the Cathedral Range in 9:50:00 car to car (at the Cathedral Lakes Trailhead. I climbed (in order) SE Buttress (5.5) of Cathedral Peak (20 min.), North Face of Eichorn Pinnacle (5.4), all nine Echo Peaks (including the SW Face of Echo 9 � 5.7), Echo Ridge, the North Ridge of Matthes Crest,(5.6), the NW corner (4th class) of the Cockscomb, Mt Althuski (peak 10.880+ / just south of Unicorn Peak � the name came from the peak register), South Ridge (4th class) Unicorn Peak. In all I counted 17 peaks in this traverse. submitted by Mark Spencer.

I did an abridged version of the Cathedral Range Traverse in a hair over 7 hours CTC. I thought it was only 9 peaks (that's what I'd heard) so I did, in order: Cockscomb, Something in Between Cockscomb and Matthes Crest (didn't know if it was a peak), North ridge of Matthes (scary, I thought), 7 Echo Peaks (I found these confusing and sort of silly, "hey, shit, there's another one"), Cathedral. Didn't do Eichorn because, well, now I had done more than 9 and wasn't really sure just what kind of "traverse" this whole thing was and figured I'd missed some stuff, so I just ran home.  …. once when sitting in the general store parking lot without a partner thinking about some exercise. I looked at my watch and it was 5:30. I drove down to the Cathedral parking area. Ran up and down, and was back in the parking lot before 8:00. Since I wasn't thinking about records, just getting back before dark, all I know for sure is that it was around 2:15 CTC. Submitted by Steve Edwards.

Mt. Starr King � 9092�

Back in 1990, Ben Schiffren mentioned that he had climbed Mt. Starr King from the Mono Meadows Trailhead in just under two hours. Since I was living in Yosemite West at the time, and had scouted routes to Starr King for the Southern Yosemite Rock Climbs book, I knew some brush free paths to the dome. On October 1, 1990, I ran from Mono Meadows Trailhead, over the domes to the south of Starr King and up the Southeast Face 5.5 in 1:40:03. I didn�t think to record the return trip, but did notice an entry from Ned Gilette listing a 2:30:00 ascent from Yosemite Valley!  submitted by Mark Spencer.
