Description

The Gremlin Cave is an extraordinary geologic feature, worth the short hike up from the main wall even if one does not plan to climb. If you do plan to climb, the wall currently hosts two multipitches: Mines of Moria and the Woodward-Berzins. The climbing is standard Ramshorn techy face/slab, but with some incredible massive chert features for reprieve scattered about, as well as some variation in wall angle. As with the main wall, full shade is had at 1:30. Left of the cave is in the shadow of the main wall even in the morning, keep this in mind if heading there on a colder day.

Getting There

Head uphill to the right once at the main wall. Cut right just below the belay for Chertlandia, toward a large pine (if you quickly encounter heinous scree, you are going the wrong way). This trail side hills north to the base of the next fin. Once there, switchback left and stay as close to the cliff face as possible until just below the cave.
