Cat Leap

Parkourintermediate

Also known as: Cat Pass

A cat leap is a parkour technique for jumping to a vertical surface — such as a wall or ledge — and landing in a crouched position with both hands gripping the top edge and both feet planted against the surface below, similar to how a cat lands. It's used to safely bridge gaps between elevated obstacles.
