This is at the north end of the Grocery store wall. As you walk down the trail the first boulder you will come to will be the stage boulder and down and to the right of that is the cave. The route traverses left to right on the crimpy rail eventually reaching the rail at head hight then a dyno to the jug on the left.
Protection
A pad is nice also be careful not to hit the block on the left as you dyno.

This is hands down one of the best problems at Castlewood, if not the best.

I have to agree with you completely. What's even better is that there are endless variations starting lower and lower in the cave, increasing the difficulty to up to v10 or so.

The moves require super sweet body tension, but the last chuck for the jug is tainted by the swing into the block directly behind. I would say for the rating this is one of the best, but definately not THE best. Try punani or even tiger woods. The latter requires just as much tension but has a clean swing upon latching the toss to the jug.

I said it may be the best, I'd have to agree that Punani and Tiger are the other contenders. I didn't hit the block on the dyno on cave direct, so maybe that's why I love it so much...I'm sure after/if I send Punani I'll like it more...it is, after all...Punani.
Where is the start exactly for the V6 at the rail straight below or on the low left rail? Also reading at http://castlewoodcanyonbouldering.blogspot.com/, the author says that a dab on the boulder doesn't invalidate the climb is this what most people agree to or have most of you figured out a way not to dab?
