Nice description. I say leave it as is, on the menu for variety, unless our dear mutual friend hasn't climbed it (and therefore has to due to his...) it might be reasonable to tame it to a R.

 As to the individual who may consider climbing it in it's current state, all I can point out is that I on the other hand had good schooling and a decent upbringing, and know better than to repeat someone's obvious mistake. ;D

Clink,

I don't think this route was a 'mistake' on Clint's part.  He's led it twice with no pro.  I think he wants to go back up and add bolts so there is a non-5.10 option for climbing out of the corridor. The route should remain 'X'.  You could take a 70' ground fall from the upper section which might or might not be survivable.

Sounds like two bolts is all it needs.
I for one don't think Pinns needs any more R or X routes.
I strive to create routes that people will actually want to do.
I'm just grateful there is so much undiscovered fun left to be had :)

Here's a photo topo for Katwalk.
There is much foreshortening and the route looks easier than it climbs.
I was quite pleased with the way it turned out (star-worthy imo). It is a nice length with some varied movement.

It does climb harder than it looks. And the upper half of the route has some really good knobs. All in all a nice effort.

Personally, I think I'm much, much smarter and better looking. Taller too. Stronger. And modest; really, really modest.

Yes...but I crack myself up. Evidently no one else gets it...

 I suppose the multiple personality thing can get complicated. On the other hand they may have some good ideas in a life or death situation.  :)

If anyone is interested Shades of Jade has some of the best rock you can climb on and the summit setting is top notch.  Climb it in the evening and you will not be disappointed.  The one downside is it can be a bit cold and windy around there since it does not get a lot of sun.  I think rapping in is recommended in order to save a bit of wear and tear on the slope that leads down to the base of the climb.
