Subject: Year of the Cat
Rating: V9
Quality: 3 stars
Location: Tram
Notes: Short and powerful
Year of the Cat is one of those short and steep power
problems that Tram is so well known for. The first ascent
was by James March. Buck Branson extended the problem
down a move or two to the right, which bumped the grade
into the V11 or V12 range.
Start squatting down at a 1 foot long, slightly knobby
rail. Crank up to crimpy horizontal seam, then over the
bulge on slopers. Finish up an easy slab on knobs and
chickenheads.
