*NEW ROUTE, NOT IN GUIDEBOOK*

"A spiritual green-eyed cat, having occult powers."

"A creature heard whining about camps at night."

"A kind of amphibious panther which leaps into the water and swims like a colossal mink."

Legend has it, the first ascent party valiantly fought off an enraged Kentucky Striped-Back Wampus Cat at the base of this very route. Things were looking grim for the assaulted.  Equipped with a modest rack of quickdraws, a stick clip, and a blown out pair of Trantulaces , our heroes were barely able to fight off the beast. This route stands as a monument to bravery and the sacrifices of those brave souls.  If you climb this route as the sun is setting, some say you can still hear the wails of the wampus cat echoing through the gorge.  

Are you brave and willing enough to take on this route? Many accept the challenge of the wampus cat, but few live to tell the tale. (Dont worry, everyone lives. This is a safely bolted sport route.). Only those who possess courage, audacity, valor, and a bit of crimp strength have a chance at conquering the WAMPUS CAT!  

Conquering a Wampus Cat: For Dummies

Begin the fight with a few light jabs to stun and/or confuse the critter.  After a quick rest, unleash your fury upon the beast. This is will be the crux of any wampus cat encounter.  If your main attack has proven to be successful, rejoice! But keep your wits about you. The wampus cat is still able to inflict deadly wouunds.  As the fight continues, if you are able to sustain yourself long enough, the cat will begin to tire and eventually flee. Stand up and shout "BE GONE BEAST" to ensure that the creature does not return. 

Congratulations. You now know how to conquer a Wampus Cat.
