Description 

The first area you will come to at Gloria's, so named for the "heart" graffiti at the back of the cave. The cave itself is a beautiful formation with a striking mushroom-shaped column in the center; one of the finest problems at Gloria's ascends the right side of this column. There are many excellent problems on the boulders surrounding the cave as well, especially the Heart Cave Boulder which is directly to the left of the cave.


Getting There 

The first area seen at Gloria's, instantly recognizable by the large cave with heart graffiti. 5 minutes from parking.
