Description 

The flake on the outside of the cave area, just right from the easy route.

I don't have FA information or route name but will be happy to add them.


Protection 

I used a Big Bro to protect the start but a good spot is probably sufficient. Above this you'll need a standard rack - nothing unusual.

I started on the right side of this flake to avoid the wide section, then crossed to the left at mid height. Still about the same rating. Very enjoyable climbing.
The stack of loose blocks on the top will rattle, and rattle you. They may not last many more years, and I would not suggest ever putting a cam behind them.
