The bolt line just left of Window Seat. Starts facing out the window of the cathedral on the left pillar. Climbs straight up to the shared anchors with Window Seat. Low moves on far apart holds into the crux, which comes when the angle steepens and you have to use two glued holds and some small 2-3 finger pockets. Not over until you clip the chains but eases slightly once you get the rail next to the last bolt.

A very thin seam on an overhanging wall. The crux move is above the last bolt as you execute a cool "dynamic stem" with plenty of rope between you and your last draw. 5.8/9 chimney moves to the top.

Starts with delicate moves on a slab, and ending with a roof move to the anchor

Tiptoe through a few stiff moves so-so rock until a good rest then pull a fun boulder problem crux to a big ledge. After the ledge climb some blocky terrain before pulling one more crux sequence to the top of the cliff. 

Maybe some holds have broken off, but this felt way harder than the 10d grade given. Really tough moves and clips through the first 4-5 bolts. Thin crimps and pockets on a vertical face, with some moss and lichen to make things extra tricky. Eventually the face tilts in and a crack makes things a bit easier until you reach the last tricky move right before the anchor.

This climb follows the crack on the right side of the large slot outside the cathedral. A few bolts protect the start before a thin crack allows space for a few gear placements. At the top of the slot, you can climb right to then reach the anchors out left. 

Climb tightly bolted choss for about 6 bolts. It gets better the higher you climb. Take the right of two bolt lines above on much more solid rock. Some long reaches on positive pockets and edges take you to the top of the formation. This climb shares its chossy start with two other climbs: a nails-hard 5.11+ slab that goes left. Or you can skip the best climbing and bail out right via an easy low-angle dihedral (Mountain Lion's Perch, requires gear or a short runout).  

Powerful start out an undercut. Then jams and liebacks on an offset flare. Pull a roof and then traverse right along the ceiling of the Cathedral to the anchors. Physical and powerful climbing. Solid rock the whole way.

Climbs the sweet headwall that hangs over the approach trail. Starts inside the Cathedral with a few bolts of crumbly sidepulls. Pull over a bulge to a good stem rest (shared start with the Iceman dihedral, aka: "Mossman"). From the stem, move left onto the headwall. Climb awesome pockets and edges up the slightly overhanging wall to the top.

The bolted crack straight above the Window. Starts on the right of the Window. The crux is a few painful jams/locks on the steepest part of the route. Traverse left to the anchor. 

Stem out onto the boulder to get started (or don't, good luck with that). Move right onto the face using big holds, which quickly disappear. Balance and finesse will get you through the low troubles. Pockets and tiny edges appear just when you need them, and get bigger as you get higher. The face gradually turns into a slab, and you can romp through the last moves to the anchor.

Easily recognizable by the clean cut slot of missing rock on the right side leaving the Cathedral. While the boltline follows the mostly featureless face, you’ll be climbing the outer, featured wall to the left. Start in the middle of the slot, move up the left side of the ledge that runs across the slot, then enjoy a fun bouldery sequence across the sheer face to arrive at a small ledge, looking up the outer face. You’ll make some but not much use of the arete, mostly for clipping. 

A fun climb in a great spot. Arabesque is a good warmup and probably the most popular route at Rattlesnake. Start on the belay spot, make a move or two straight right, then head straight up. Fun and exposed near the top. You can set a top rope by hiking around to the top but you'll want to add directionals to a few of the bolts. 

Short but packs a punch! Bouldery moves up the middle of a broad pillar on the edge of the Cathedral. Big moves out the undercut to start, some thin and techy stuff in the middle, and an extra vicious bit right at the end for ya. Have fun! 

An awesome arch formation with some hard routes. A "Window" on the outside wall frames a nice view of the surrounding hills and forrest. Routes are located on the "main wall" inside the Cathedral, on the "Window wall" on the inside, and on the "Window wall" on the outside. It's possible to climb here while it's raining... unless it rains too hard.
