Sunday was intended for a longer route (given it was almost November), we thought we'd check out the East Buttress of Lower Cathedral Rock. It was really cold, so we didn't get as early of a start as we should have.. and the super wide "5.8" first pitch took a while. Given it was now 12:30pm, the days were short, and we had 10 pitches above us with an unknown descent, we made the decision to bail. The consolation prize was a run up Serenity Crack, we left the valley euphoric!
