@Pivo Nope. I’ve somehow never seen them in the Catalinas. The closest to Tucson I’ve seen them is in the Silverbells.

FWIW, I was just up there yesterday and both the rope to the inner sanctum and the rope to the summit appear to be in usable condition with adequate anchors. I didn't use either rope but inspected them during my free ascents so that I felt comfortable having my hiking partner use them (I'm the stron...

I saw a summit log from Valentine's Day, 1991. I'm not sure if they would still keep up with the tradition given that the peak, by my estimation, falls within the bighorn sheep closure.

It's a good adventure. Just be comfortable with 4th class climbing and evaluating crumbly rocks. The objective hazards are a little high on the route I took.

I look at this point every day from my house, and today I hiked up to the top of it. But I don't know what it's called. Does anyone know if it has a name?

Thanks! I love to get out and explore the spots right in my backyard where few have been before. The front range of the Catalinas is so beautiful! Those towers look grand. Even Cathedral is a worthy objective that I can't imagine gets all that many visitors each year. I need to get back up there!

Thanks for the info on the name! Does anyone on here have an answer to question #2 above?

Yesterday I traversed some of the peaks north of Table Mountain on the western flanks of Pima Canyon (see attached map), ending on Table Tooth before bush whacking back down. I am curious on a couple of points: 1) Do these points have a collective name (I've Googled and found one reference to them b...
