Hans' Puss starts just to the left of Feast of Fools. Pitch one climbs the face/corner/flake system, until an easy traverse above Feast of Fools leads to the shared bolt anchor. Pitch two traverses right, following the path of least resistance ,until you can move up, wandering a bit, and finally pull a couple of exposed moves to get to the GT ledge.
Location
Located just to the left of the start of Feast of Fools.
Protection
Standard rack. Bolts at the end of the first pitch (shared with F of F). Tree at the end of the second.
Do people normally rap from the GT after the second pitch? If so, from where? We did the (crappy) 3rd pitch and then rapped on Arrow. I didn't see any slings right where Han's Puss tops out on the GT, but it is possible to walk along the GT unroped at that point.
Just did this route on Saturday, and I post this comment just to note that all three pitches are worthwhile. I thought the third pitch was interesting and different from the first two, not crappy at all. It begins with a short (but easy, no worries!) off-width, then follows an obvious corner to a slightly tricky hand traverse to the finish. Pretty nice for 5.5. The second pitch traverse is fun, followed by some nice 5.7 moves up to the GT ledge. There is no rap station where the route reaches the GT ledge, but I would recommend going to the top and rapping at the Arrow bolts, it takes all of 30 seconds to get to the Arrow bolts. Seems like most people do just the first pitch and then rap from the chains, which I think is a pity.
