Middle Cathedral Rock, Yosemite CA. East Buttress of Middle Cathedral 5.9 A1 or 5.10c The climb follows the lower sunlit buttress out of the trees and climbs to the top of the dark rock a few hundred feet below the notch between Middle and Higher Cathedral Rocks. Racing up the lower part of the climb.     Right: Hugo hanging out on the ledge at the base of the crux pitch with El Capitan lurking in the background. Maybe one of the best pitches of the climb with a nice face climbing at the start to a nice crack through beautifully colored rock above. Pitch 5 Above: Blasting off into the upper crux of the climb and finishing with a nice rest. Hugo and Brian, nice climb! Where's Mike? The view across the valley
