Catillac
Description
The left end of Nomad Cave has always seemed to hold some good potential, but it took until just recently to see it through. Catillac climbs the long, powerful compression sequence using perhaps all of the styles a good cave climber needs. Start low on a left hand popcorn pinch and right hand jug sidepull. Climb V6 terrain for 10 feet to a good kneebar. Execute the crux sequence from here; 4-6 hard compression and tension-y moves leads to some better holds and more straightforward climbing. Climb for 5 more feet and grab a right hand meathook to then ninja kick both feet to the adjacent block. Mantel over and finish here (or do the D. Woods beta, and keep climbing until grabbing the block is possible. HARD). Catillac is perhaps the best problem in the cave and is surprisingly really, really fun.
Location
It is on the left side of the cave (facing the cave) starting down low and climbing the long roof.
Protection
3 crashpads, a kneepad, and maybe a dab mat or towel for the start.
