This route is on a separate boulder to the left of The Cave, and is characterized by a right arching flake. For the most part it is obscured by a large oak tree. A weird corner start finally gets one into the flake system itself. Deep fist jams and forearm cams are made before an exit move is made prior to the end of the crack with a face move or two to the top. Highly Recommended.
I didn't feel the start was any harder than 5.8 or 5.9, but the flake above is burly as hell. I need to go back with tape to make the painful wide fist jams tolerable enough to finish the route. Then again, maybe this is a finger/hand size thing? I have small hands and skinny fingers...
