Cat's Claw Arete

This mixed route climbs a well protected but exposed arete with great holds that keep you on the edge all the way to the anchors.

Climb the distinctive arete via a fun, 5.7 crack start.  Hike left across the base and carefully scramble up to gain the crack.

A set of 4 cams; # 2, 1, .75, & .75, sew up the start.  Six bolts lead up the arete to chains.  When you pull the rope it can get stuck on the flakes below the first bolt.  To avoid this, pull way to the right with a good hard tug.
