Description This route is not very impressive and most climbers probably wouldn't even give it a second glance. But there is one cool thing about it and thats the cave entrance at the top of the pitch. So if your feeling adventurous I recommend taking some shoes and a headlamp up this climb and once at the top ditch your climbing gear and start exploring. You can probably spend about an hour in the cave and then just climb back out and rap back down the route.
Location This route is located to the right of "Caveman" in an obvious lower angle groove.
Protection This route is protected by five threads so five quickdraws is all you need plus a couple for the anchor. There are two anchors at the top of the pitch, the left one is probably better for top-roping but both seemed to be in good shape
Bats!
