The "Little" Cave Rock Climbing

This is an awesome section of lava tube where two separate portions of the tube have collapsed leaving an intact arch between the two sections and climbing in both collapsed sections as well as on the arch between them. The routes here tend to be short and bouldery with the exception of the route "Tube Steak" which is actually quite long (but still bouldery) due to the fact that it traverses the entire lip of the arch. The routes are north east facing, so most of them get morning sun and are shaded by late morning for the rest of the day. A nice feature of the area is the fact that right at the bottom of the cave under the arch there is a nice cool section that is kept cool by the same wind phenomenon that keeps the nearby Shoshone Indian Ice Caves frozen year round with an interior temperature of around 28 degrees F. This makes for a great area to cool off between burns!
