Description 

The Hurley Traverse is probably the most often used exit pitch for routes that end at the Cave. Even though it's rated the same as the Cave exit, it's much more straightforward than that Chinese puzzle.

Start by climbing partway into the Cave and, looking for the line of least resistance, traverse straight right across the wall using small but positive holds until you can round the corner and head up easier ground to the top.
