Katey's Route starts just to the right of Lander Turkey Shoot on the opposite side of the Gully. It is an obvious line of bolts going up a nice face with crystals in all the right places
Location
The route tops out at the anchors for the first pitch of the Retable Route. Use these anchors and rap down the south side.
Protection
This is a nice bolted route with 6 or 7 bolts, take more quickdraws just in case. After the 5.8 face ends there is about 30 feet of run-out 5.2 climbing on nice big holds. It is possible to sling at least one crystal, but by the time you do you realize it would be easier to just keep going.

My wife just led this route yesterday. Several variations that you can put together make this quite fun. Only 5 bolts on the route with the top being quite run out... but the final 45 feet is very easy.

Just led this climb on 9/28. It was a fun climb, but the first 15 feet of run-out above the 5th bolt is pretty vertical and I believe still consists of 5.7 moves. The angle than eases and is quite juggy the rest of the way up to the nice anchor bolts.

I had a hold break off on me on this route which was exciting. I felt like it required some pretty delicate movements with a lot of high stepping.
