Dead Cats Annex is a climbing area on Milton Reimers Ranch Park in Texas, on county land. It sits about 0.1 mile from the Dead Cats climbing area, and the Serpent Wall, Zoey's Wall and Rhetoric Wall are all within a similar distance, so the Annex is a cluster of climbing spots rather than a single route. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Dripping Springs show April highs around 79°F and October highs around 80°F, while July and August average in the low 90s. For a change of pace, the Scenic Overlook Trail is about 7 miles away, and the Pedernales Falls Trail System is a little farther.
