Ascent Notes for: King Cat - 5.11d Average Rating : 4.75/5

Lots of variety, and a huge roof requiring a bizarre move to end it up. Six stars out of five. Couldn't hang on long enough to work out the beta over the roof.

First route at the Creek. Tried it fresh out of the car and fell turning the lip of the roof. Came back two days later for the send.

got redemption on the second burn after whipping above the crux on the first. I still don't know why I fell.

this was one of the funnest cracks i have done

Was not able to pull roof move onsight on my first attempt in 1998. Waited a couple years then fired it on my second try. I was screaming after sending this one! This route is spectacular! It combines hands/widehands in a corner composed of perfect rock, with an awesome lieback up a flake as well as the roof move which is very nonintuitive. I would be happy to give anyone the beta who wants it.
