Description
Scramble up blocky ledges to the first bolt. Continuous, techy, low angle climbing gets you through two bulges/mini roofs and up the right facing corner to a surprisingly easy 3rd roof. The crux is moving past the 7th bolt.
Location
Look for the line of bolts between Blue Steel and Catwalk. Lower off with a 60m rope.
Protection
11 Bolts, Mussy Hook Anchor.

Here's a fun variation. Start up the first 3 bolts of Catwalk. Then on continue straight up to the anchors of Finger Jockey on a TR. About the same rating with some fun moves. You will pass a small bush half way up. Oct 16, 2015

really fun route, pretty tightly (over?) bolted. would make an excellent beginner's route if one can get to the first bolt (easy steps) without falling. not sure where the 5.9 comes from, i'd go with 5.7. merman has harder moves, so does downtown man... Jun 17, 2016
