Description 

(95ft) 9 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor. Begin at the far right of the Catslab below a large dirt-covered ledge. Have fun frictioning and hauling up this well-protected route w/ just a couple of points of 7. Scramble from the last bolt to a large belay ledge that is covered w/ loose pebbles. To descend, one can rappel w/ a single, standard rope angling right onto a brushy ledge. Down-climb easy terrain for 10feet. Remember to tie stopper knots to prevent rapping off the ends.

I think the Grizabella is a good first sport climb or for a warmup. I would recommend a 60 meter rope if you beley from the bottom or the belayer can anchor in to the first hanger with a 50 meter rope.

Overbolted, but still fun. Easy sport lead for beginner.
