Description

The crag is in the base of a sinkhole and remains at a constant ~65 degrees. The climbing surfaces are Florida limestone and are subject to crumbling but felt sturdy. The walls are roughly 20 feet tall, and there are tons of routes! This cave is next to two other cave entrances and is also known as Vandal's Cave; it is located in the citrus wildlife management area.

Getting There

The approach is roughly 1/2 mile down an easy dirt trail. The sinkhole is marked by steel cables blocking hikers from falling. From the main trail, the access cave is to the right, climb down and enjoy!
