The Most Difficult Traverse So Far - Cathedral Traverse

Type: Interesting

Description:
It’s hard to believe that people do the whole grand traverse, both cathedral and cloud veil, faster then it took us to complete just the cathedral. Makes me wish I would have stuck with climbing. The cathedral traverse is no joke. Most of the traverses on this channel have been scrambles for runners this was climbing. At least for me. The fkt’s are held by people who SOLO the north face. A prospects that instantly gets my forearms pumped and turns my mouth dry. It took us five years to get around to finishing the first half of the Grand Traverse and I can honestly say I was glad we put it off. In those intervening years between the cloud veil and the cathedral I learned to be more comfortable with exposure and I also improved my climbing by a barely perceptible degree. But it was just enough as you’ll see.
