Quote from: "Brad Young"
Take my word for it Cock, it does not take gear. those are uneven, micro seams only.  Near the top the FA party was thinking of using a cam. The cam fit well. I asked them to place a bolt though (and they did) because a fall on the cam well might have pried out the microwave size block it was behind. The block is soid to the touch and pull, but the leverage a cam creates with a fall is a whole different thing. Table Mountain is very strange that way - huge loosenesses need careful attention when creating new routes.



werd, fair enough.  from the pic it looks it might take pro.
eow!

DC Angel Cat was pretty easy, I'm not really sure if I could rate it properly because I fell a couple times.   I think its one of the few times I've felt complete stable and been chalking up and stuff and then I was suddenly falling.  None of the moves were as scary as say the opening move of chicken ranch bingo.
