	Definition of Cathedral Peak (California)
		Cathedral Peak is the crowning peak of the Cathedral Range, a mountain range in the south-central portion of Yosemite National Park in Tuolumne County, California.
		The peak, which lends its name to the range, derives its name from its cathedral-shaped peak, which was formed by glacial activity: the peak remained uneroded above the glaciers in the Pleistocene.
		The west peak of Cathedral Peak (shown foreshortened in the photograph) is called Eichorn Pinnacle, after Jules Eichorn, who first ascended a YDS 5.4 route in 1931.

		Cathedral Peak (8200', 2500 m) might be better named Cathedral Ridge since, while it appears to be a solitary peak from the vantage point on the lake, it is really the beginning of a ridge that leads in the direction of Gilmore Lake and Mount Tallac.
		Cathedral Peak does not have a trail that leads directly to it, but can be reached by three different approaches.

	Cathedral Range - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Cathedral Range is a mountain range immediately to the South of Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite National Park, USA.
		The tops of the peaks in the range were above the level of the highest glaciation, and are therefore uneroded and spire-like.
		The range is named after Cathedral Peak, which is shaped like a cathedral, because of this differential erosion.

		This transfer in the Cathedral Peak granodiorite is alleged to have resulted while the temperature of the granitic mass was held near the eutectic for a long period of time.
		Therefore, the rock in the Cathedral Peak pluton must have been subjected to repeated periods of deformation, keeping the system open for fluid movement to facilitate the metasomatism.
		If the mean height of the plagioclase crystals in the Cathedral Peak granodiorite continued its range from 15 to 80 mm, the replacement of plagioclase crystals by microcline in this larger range might then plot as an extension of the steep slope for the crystals plotted for the 1 to 15 mm range.

		In general terms the rock is granite, to a geologist it is Cathedral Peak granidiorite, to a mountain climber it is heaven.
		They had run out of patterns when they reached the small patch of granite at the north edge of the Yosemite geologic map and so they gave the small piece of cathedral peak granidiorite a yellow color usually reserved for sediments.
		Then to the horror of the geologists almost the entire geologic map of Tuolumne meadows turned out to be one type of granite, cathedral peak granidiorite.

	Fast Atmosphere - Tim Bluhm
		Far from the camera-clicking life of a rock star, he has drifted up and down the Golden State, skiing off of Mount Shasta, free-soloing Cathedral Peak in Tuolumne Meadows, telemark-traversing the Sierras, and surfing the cold Northern California coast.
		As frontman for the band Mother Hips, Bluhm (rhymes with room) pitched his tent on a plot of California's imagination and has been singing into the roar of the bulldozers ever since.
		But with a bittersweet yearning for the days of banditos and gold miners, and with a kinship with California's long-gone official state animal, this self-proclaimed "time-sick son of a grizzly bear" has sometimes gone unheard.
