Description 

Starting in the back of the large cave, work your way up and out the mouth using a variety of chimney moves, full-body squeezes, fist and hand jams, and good ol' grunts. Feels a bit awkward and strenuous for the grade, but it's fun. After the mouth the grade eases significantly. *Caution: It is common practice to toprope this climb. Beware that a fall within the depths of the cave could result in a ground-fall as you swing outward.


Location 

Begin in the back of the cave.


Protection 

1 rack cams to #4 Camalot; 1 set stoppers. Opportunities for placing Big Bros and larger cams exist, but aren't necessary.
