Hail of a Traverse

Start this trad line by hiking slightly up the next drainage right of Alley Cat, until you gain the obvious horizontal crack. Head left, following the crack along the top of the slab face, towards the roof section of Pocket Wall. Feel the crux as you enter under the roof and transition using small finger edges, from piton to piton. The next crux is found just before the Alley ledge. At the base of the Alley, use the Alley Cat bolt to set up a belay station, to reduce rope drag, during the ascent up the Alley. Some may decide to set a belay station, at either the Around Town bolt or the Window of Opportunity bolt, to switch leads before reaching the Alley. Either way the line was originally climbed as a solo aid, on a winter day, hence the name of the route, then I went for the red point attemp, after knowing the pin placements to be super secure. The bolts are now just an added bonus. Enjoy my friends!

Start this trad line by heading to the next drainage right of Alley Cat (100 feet), then hike up the drainage, just right of the slab line called Juvenile, until you gain access to the obvious Pocket Wall horizontal crack. Head left, following the crack and plugging in pro, until your standing on the Alley belay ledge. Climb up the Alley to another belay station or climb out and use a tree.

Protects well. Full rack, including: large to small cams, quick draws, and runners. You will find some pitons and bolts along the way.
