CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Although the summit had been reached via Tyrolean traverse on November 10th 1940 by DeWitt Allen, Torcom Bedayan, and Robin Hansen, Kat Pinnacle was first climbed from the ground up via the Northwest Corner.

Pitch 1) Climb broken cracks to a good stance below a semi rotten aid crack. 5.7

Pitch 2) Ascend the aid crack mostly on fixed gear and belay from a tree. 5.7 C2+

Pitch 3) Move the belay around the summit cap to the right. Climb a short chimney to the top. 5.7

Ratings are old school.

Location

From the notch, scramble down until you reach the obvious cracks of pitch one.

Protection

Single set to #4 camalot. Include small nuts for the aid.
