Description Start up the obvious hand crack (bolted) which is harder than it looks to a stance at the top of the corner. Move out left to the arete with difficulty. Once around the arete crank up past endless edges. Strenuous and somewhat exposed.

| Caldera is without a doubt the best route for it's grade in the Owens River Valley. It's varied, the positioning is a wonder, and the first ascentionists did a superb job both bolting and cleaning the route (often neglected in other routes there). Why the guide for that region does not recognize as such sounds political. |

| Such a sweet climb. I had to do this wild move to get onto the face from the crack where I just held onto the jug with my left hand and let my body swing out until I could match it with my right and then get my feet onto something. Really awesome, wild movement. Fell at the chain and never could figure out how to get past it so I grabbed the snake and clipped the rope and then finished it up. |
