Dead Cat

One of the better easy problems at the U-mound and about the only steep one.

Start from the crack in the downhill side of the pedestal and make a long move or two up to gain the angling crack. Surf the crack up and to the left to where it becomes a big rounded lip. Move straight up, there are holds up there but they are a ways away.

after leaving the copper trailhead, follow trail 401 to the left and after crossing the spillway, take the left trail further north. The Dead Cat Boulder sits in a small boulder cluster alone, behind the larger formation that makes up The Manatee Trad Traverse. It’s recognizable because of the large round balanced boulder.
