Ben Botelho follows Scaredy Cat(5.7)

Description 

This is the series of large cliffs that rise up above Cat Mountain Pond. There are many opportunities for hard sport climbing. Most of the cliff is unexplored and some parts are quite dirty. There is also quite a bit of loose rock so be careful in approaching and climbing.

Getting There 

There are two main approaches:
1. Hike down from the summit past the summit cliffs to the top of the Main Face. From here you can downclimb gullies and rappel to the bottom.

2. The best approach is from Cat Mountain Pond where it is easy to bushwack North to the base of the cliff.
