High quality rock with jams and jugs, what could be better?

Sometimes you have to wait in line to get on this route.

Cookie Monster is the crack in the center of the photo. Starts on the ledge (scramble up and to the right and then around left at the top). Pitch 2/3 ends at the small tree at the top on the "lunch ledge". Drop packs around

Lunch ledge to CitH rappel. Don't climb like guy in photo, walk around photographer and under the tree.

Beautiful view up-canyon from lunch ledge

Supper duper fun climbing on cookie monster!

Belay at top of Cookie Monster from the tree / lunch ledge (end of pitch 2 or 3 depending on how you climb it)

First pitch..

Route looking up from the big ledge base.

Last pitch of Cat in the Hat.

This is the top of Cookie Monster and where you can link up with Cat in the Hat (the start of pitch 6). You keep going right as seen in this photo and then head up dark wall. Don't belay from the alcove that this photo is taken from, that was a mistake.

sloping ledge belay spot,
