Cathedral Rock, Summit in Kittitas County, Washington.

Cathedral Rock rises to 2049 meters within the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, featuring steep cliffs and deep valleys formed through glacial activity.

James Grieve completed the first recorded ascent of Cathedral Rock between 1882 and 1896, establishing its presence in mountaineering records.

The mountain stands as a central point for climbers and hikers exploring the Alpine Lakes backcountry through various established routes and trails.

Access requires driving on Forest Road 4330 from I-90, obtaining a Northwest Forest Pass, and starting at the Cathedral Pass trailhead.

The mountain contains multiple climbing paths, including the Southwest Face class 4 route and the more technical Northeast Buttress class 5.7 ascent.
