Publication Year: 1982.

Cathedral Wall, Altar Boy. In mid-July Doug Snively and I made the first ascent of Altar Boy (III, 5.8) on the Cathedral Wall. It generally ascends the obvious open-book to the right of the Dalke Route. The climb yielded seven pitches of separately protected 5.6-5.8 climbing on superb rock.
