The final short pitch that finishes both the South Face and the Cave Route follows the ramp past the manzanita and around the corner. A full 60m rope length will get you to this point.

P1 Flake
To bump the grade a bit on this climb follow the start of Dream Weaver after the flake disappears (don't step left onto the ledge & corner). Make the reachy moves and trend right until you're a bit out in space then traverse to the cave----don't worry if you pitch, the flake will catch your 20+ footer easy ;-)
