About Cathedral Spires:
An awesome and confusing cluster of granite towers up to 4 pitches long. Most of the classics are moderate routes, but there is a smattering of difficult routes(usually runout, definitely not a sport area). Herb and Jan Conn did a heroic job of developing the area back in the 40s and 50s, adding commiting routes up to 5.8s in their Converse high tops. |
