Yesterday, I climbed to the top of Cathedral Spires above the Platte River in the foothills east of the Lost Creek area with a CMC group. The climb started with a short but very steep hike to the saddle below the spires. From there, we scrambled to the top, over and under boulders and through tight places. From the top there were views to Mount Evans and Pikes Peak and to the closer granite domes and spires.
