Description Suggest change

The Pond Cave is a longer cliff band that nearly climbs over the water and holds some of the steepest climbing in the woods with quality problems ranging from v3-v10. The pond cave traverse and who needs hueco are must do problems for anyone who climbs regularly at Lincoln Woods.

Winter sun and summer shade but it can be a mosquito nightmare.

Getting There Suggest change

From the sit down area, continue along the road until you see a large pond on your right (the road ends soon after). The pond cave sits on the far end of the pond so approach from any path that leads around but watch your step because the ground may be muddy.

Landing submerged under 2-3 feet of water on 2/4/24. Does anyone know whether this is typical for winter? We were wondering if some brush may have dammed the stream flowing out.
