Description

The first area reached at Gloria's, named for the decades-old broken heart graffiti at the back of the cave (regrettably painted over in recent years.) A popular drop-off/highball problem ascends the right side of the mushroom-shaped center column. There are many fine problems on the boulders surrounding the cave, especially the Heart Cave Boulder directly to the left.

Getting There

Follow the trail from Paradise Rd until you reach the cave. 5 minutes from parking.
