MapDescription
Great exposure, tricky, but well protected (almost gym bolted),
Cat-O-Nine-Tails
clears the overhang just left of
Creaking Plank
, then moves left and up an obvious bolt-protected arête. The flogging consists of two distinct cruxes, but with a no-hands rest in between. Apprehensive folks might want to use a well-slung finger-size cam to reach the first bolt on the arête.
Location
Approach by walking out the ledge system to the start of
Creaking Plank
, then downclimbing 10 or so feet (very easy) to a belay ledge with a bolt (same belay as for
Orbital Decay
). Take the bolt line on the right; the left set of bolts is
Orbital
.
Protection
Ten draws. Consider a finger-size cam and long sling to get to the first bolt on the arête. Lower from chains with fixed biners.
