Description

Climbs in and out of the cave. The only sandy beach is here, and also makes for a great camping spot. After rebolting with titanium in 2016 by QX and friends, some forgotten climbs were revitalized, making this area more than just a rainy day option. As the hillside directly across from the cave entrance continues to slough away, more climbs will be revealed as well.

Getting There

Walk.

Rain & Shade

Routes inside the cave and through the arch are dry in the rain. They tend to be rather dank after a long period of rain, however. All other walls dry fairly quickly.

These same routes are also shaded all day. The Hammer Time face goes into the shade early (9am?). All other routes are in the sun until late afternoon.

[Hide Comment] A coffee table-sized block came down on top of a popular spot to pitch tents one season. Heads up!
If only there was better rock quality in the cave, there could be potential for some badass routes through the roof. Too bad!
