Description
This route starts as a piece of cake, with easy 5.7 slab moves, but stiffens as you approach the top. I felt the crux was at the very top of the climb, between the last bolt and the anchors. Just follow the bolts.
Protection
12 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor. Be sure to use a 60m rope.... it's close to 100' to the ground.
Climbed here on saturday 6/16/2003. The coldshut anchors on this route are in desperate need of replacement. One of the anchors is half way worn through by people lowering on the anchors. Learn how to rappel!
We added 5/16" quick links with a single link of 3/8" proof coil chain to all theanchors on Catslab (except Skimbleshanks and Grizabella - they had already been"fixed" and Gus and Ram Tam Tagger..???). That should help alleviate wear problemsto the cold shuts. When the 3/8" links wear, just unscrew the quicklink and replacethe link of chain.
Yes, it would be nice if people didn't use the anchors directly for toproping andlowering.
