About Matthes Crest:
| Classic, pretty, 5th class traverse. a couple of 5.7 moves, but most of the route is 4th class. |
| Approach: | several approach possibilities. I like taking the cathedral trail until just a few hundred meters south of taking a swim in the little lake along the way. Travel offtrail (east) about a mile or so to get to the southern end of the traverse. |
