3 out of 5 stars climbed it again

Nice face moves. The more interesting climb is straight up the middle.

2 out of 5 stars In search of TRs

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.

3 out of 5 stars stay to the left and it's a bit harder

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.)
