Description 

Long climb with variety. Begin in a funky birth canal alcove with two hand cracks inside. Squirm your way through the first 10 feet and enjoy good hands to a series of ledges and stances. Stem against a secondary crack up to the wide section where a whole leg fits. It might be possible to exit via the secondary crack, but the legs are bomber if you stay right in the offwidth. A 70m rope will get you back to ground.

Location 

Two routes left from Curiosity as you come up from the East parking lot of Cat Wall. There are two offwidths in right facing corners here and this is the leftmost of the two.

Protection 

Two chains for anchors at top. 3x #1 at your smallest, doubles of everything bigger including 2x #5.
