Description
This is one of the few easy romps at the Catwalk. Great gear and mostly great rock the entire way. Highly recommended!
This is the left-most route in an alcove. Look for the obvious crack that rises up and left under a roof feature with white/tan blocks. Above the roof an intermittent finger crack is easily seen from the base. Several starts are possible. Head straight up to start, or begin further to the right and follow crack system under the roof. Make a move around a blunt bulge below the roof, watch for loose blocks on top. Get underneath the roof at the base of the finger crack. Plug some bomber gear and fire the roof pull. Follow the intermittent crack as it wanders around the face then slightly up and right. Make a short traverse left once high up on the face to some large horizontal features. Make a tough move up using the few hold options available (crux). Continue heading up and slightly left to the base of a dead tree. Once there, traverse directly to the right to a set of camo'ed bolts.
