Description
The most frequently ascended route of the grade range in the cave and a good first 13a for boulderers. The climb starts out with a very fun sequence of jugs and edges to a good rest below a roof. This goes at 11+/12- and is used by some as a warmup for the harder routes. Pull up above the roof using a crimp out left and make a slightly blind huck for a drilled-out slot jug for the right hand. After sticking the throw, the crux comes immediately, consisting of a short boulder problem with a couple of options that people claim go at about V5-V7 depending on beta and body type. Most skip the first clip in this traverse. Finishes on a few easier moves to pull the lip out right.
Location
Left side of the cave proper, easily identified by an obvious pocket at the first bolt and a traverse section below the roof up high.
Protection
10 bolts, currently equipped with fixed draws.
