Feline Stall Tactics starts in a crack inside a small dihedral to the left of the primary corner. It climbs over the arete and into this primary corner system. This section of the climb is shared with Pentapussy. There are some cool fingerlocks and stems inside the main corner system. Climb the handcrack that diagonals up and to the left through the crux roof and enjoy the sweet flake above. Rather than aiming directly for the tree, climb the slab above the flake and then downclimb to the tree for a little extra fun.
Location
Feline Stall Tactics starts in a small dihedral to the left of the left side of a bush to get into the small dihedral. There are slings around the huge pine tree growing out of the arete. You can rappel from here to the base of the gully with a 60 meter rope.
Protection
Standard rack-small nuts to a 3" cam. Bring a few long runners to reduce rope drag. There are slings around a tree for an anchor. No fixed protection.

If this thing was at the Gate there would be a line on it every Saturday. You cannot beat stepping out on that tree for the 1st time! Good stuff.

If only everyone knew the story behind the name. What a great climb, grabbing the upper flake for the first time was a very nerve racking experience, but a quality climb none the less. Enjoy!

If this climb were at the gate, then half the route would break off in a week. The top part of the climb is highly reminiscent of the zion curtain pitch on arm and hammer. Use caution.
Great pitch! It is fragile but nothing to get too uptight about. Probably won't fall down next week. Great views from this area of Hogum Fork and the Pfiefferhorn.
