TR: Static, Engineers' Cascade 21-Dec-2012 At 1:57:43 PM PThomson

If Static was going to be your LAST climb of the day, or the sole goal of your day, you would rap in via the static-side of the CtW ledges, warm up on 5.9+ and do Static afterwards before walking out via the end of the ledge for the day.

Alternatively, you can rap in and do Catchit as a warm up, rap back down and do Static (it's like 50m easy walk from where you rap in for CtW), and rap back down, and climb Catch the Wind, or Passing Wind/Second Wind to escape from the original entry point.

I had a look at Static when I was on Passing Wind a week ago. It looks so unnassuming from the bottom, yet I remember the stories Ben Jenga has told me about an epic battle he and Thoma Samuels had on it a while back.

If you're planning on climbing it, Bundy, I'll happily come along for a lap. The whole thing sounds intriguing.
