Ascent Notes for: Katzenjammer - 5.7 Average Rating : 3.25/5

It rained 8-10 hours last night and I really didn't want to lead through the wetness. We TR'd Katzenjammer. It's a nice climb, I think it's harder than a 5.7. I try to avoid the obvious line, just to make it harder. I suppose if you used the cracks, flakes etc it would be closer to a 7.

If you start directly on the face, don't use The Brat start, it's a bit harder. I picked my way up the hardest line, staying out of the cracks etc. We were going to do some more variations of the face, but, my son dislocated his shoulder on the climb and we had to leave. (Husband popped it back in, but, Tim was in pain.)

It was slimy wet today so we set up a TR on the Brat face. With a directional at the pin, it's easy to run up Katzenjammer. Fun and easy.

My first ever outdoor climb. Good, straightforward route.

kind of wandered around left and right to find some fun crimpy climbing...
