Access Issue: Warning! Stainless steel bolts are suspect near the coast!
Details
You can read about the warning here. There is extensive rebolting being done by the Thaitanium Project, which has already rebolted the vast majority of popular routes in the main areas. Be informed!
Description
Silkcat starts off to the right of the second tier of roves above the Ton Sai main roof. Climb up the start past 2 bolts, keeping to the left and passing a few threaded cords to reach a bolted anchor on the left side of a small corner. Like its neighbor this route is a good route that less steep than others in the area, but it is hard owing to smaller holds. Like its neighbors on the right side of the upper tier, it needed rebolting in 2004.
Location
To approach this route climb up the ladder near the Freedom Bar and up onto the shelf above the Ton Sai Roof. Walk right past Sweating Mekong and Viking In Heat, two steep routes just right of the top of the ladder and past an isolated route Hin Rong Hai, then scramble up a fixed rope to a slightly higher shelf, continuing to the right of another roof with some stalactites. To the right of the roof there is another set of bolted routes which share the bottom 2 bolts. On the left is Silkcat, on the right is Tom Yum.
