Description
The main area of the Labyrinth contains problems with just about every style, from slab, to stemming, to steep jug hauls. An entire day can easily be spent here.
The area has less tree coverage and will dry up the fastest after a rain. That also means it will be the hottest on sunny days.
The guidebook breaks the Main into East and West. If it gets too complex it can be split here as well.

Getting There
The easier and safer approach is to start from the gravel overflow parking lot behind the big dome. Do not drive past the gravel parking lot even if the gate is open, you'll probably get locked in. The path is mostly obvious, but specifically you should:
For the other approach:
- Walk up the paved road until you find a dirt road to the right. Walk out this road until it ends.
- From the end of the road to your right, you can see benches overlooking the Labyrinth. Go to the benches.
- From the benches follow the trail to the left, turning downhill. At the end of a switchback is a small hill with steps. Go up the steps.
- Follow the trail through a small patch of woods exiting onto tailings. Walk uphill on the tailings to a block. (Baby Chris V2 and Gimp Wrist V4)
- Walk through another patch of woods and over some more tailings to another block (Gong Show V0), passing Gong Show on the left and following a path will bring you to the back of the Underworld Cave.
For the other approach:
- There's a trail intersection on the waterway trail just uphill from Anarchy, take this trail. Take the first right available.
- Follow a somewhat indistinct trail to a 4th class move and up onto the open area. Be careful, this is often slippery.
- Cross a narrow rock spine (very carefully) and follow a faint trail.
- The first wall you come to is the Micah Miller Wall.
