Description 

This is the leftmost route of the four Cave Route climbs, and heads straight up the face of the cave to the top anchor.

Stick clipping the first bolt is probably a good idea, as the not so soft talus floor of The Cave probably isn't very nice to land in.

Head up using all your strength through pumpy overhanging reachy moves using large jugs and anything else that helps.

You will probably hate yourself for top roping any Cave Wall route, as it's overhung enough to make getting yourself back on the wall a pumpy 5.10 move.

Climbing gets easier as you head up, but not much!


Protection 

4 bolts to a 2 bolt top anchor.
