Astro Cat

Description

A long adventure climb that weaves its way up the Balcony.

Make good use of runners to avoid rope drag.

Same start as The Balcony. Stick clip, make HARD moves onto the slab, or pull up C0, like a toprope hero! After the fourth bolt move left towards a corner and roof. Climb up this and out of the roof using a chock stone that "feels like it was made for climbers". Rounding out of the roof there are good holds but you'll have to feel around before you find them. Clip a bolt to your left and pull up onto the slabby ledge. A few more bolts lead past a bunghole feature and to the top.

Named for the unfortunate cat who decided to nap underneath Nick's Astro van only to wake up and bail out heading onto I93. The cat did actually make it back home and surprisingly lived a long and only slightly traumatized life.

Location

The second terrace at the Balcony 

Protection

14 bolts, rings to lower from.
