OverviewAnother fine climb in th 2/3 gully, Cat's Meow is rated 5.9'+'. Never fear, the gear is good.
Getting There  Block at the base of the route. The rout follows the crack in the corner just to the left of the pine tree.
Route DescriptionClimb the corner,(harder than it looks), until it ends at the upper roof. traverse left above the roof to a thin crack, about 8-10 feet across the slab. Jam and lie-back the crack as it gradually widens. The crux is about the 5th move off the slab: a steep lie-back to a 'thank god' hold that looks none too promising from below. The last 15-20 feet can be climbed with some difficulty in the wide crack, or more easily out on the face to the right - foregoing the last gear placement.
Essential GearSet of nuts, tricams, cams up to a #3 Camalot, 3-4 long runners. Two ropes to get down from the bolt anchor at the top.
