Description 

Cool little trad(?) route at Catslab. Worth doing, maybe, if you're bored of all those bolt routes. Various starts to obvious clean left facing corner with occasional shrubbery ~60' left of Skimbleshanks. Beware rubble on ledge below last 10' step. Pretty clean rock, bomber gear. More cleaning and it'd be a great beginner trad lead?

Standard rack to #2 Camalot.

I may have got the FA for this one, I did it on aid about a year ago, it looked like it would be a good trad route especially for beginners. The shrubs were pretty bad and I had to clear a bit but like mentioned before if cleaned more it could be a pretty nice route. I was solo at the time and topped out near the start of the 5.8 Skimbleshanks. have fun. P.S. some bouldering and possible other routes can be found downhill and down river. Peace!

I free soloed this ~5-6 yrs ago and saw chalk on it then. I agree that with a little more cleaning it would make a good beginner lead.
