Description Suggest change

Immediately adjacent and located climber’s right of the impressively steep China Cave- these lower angle routes are only slabby in comparison to the smoke-stained near-horizontal offerings and mind bending link-ups found in the cave proper. Bold, technical, and historic face climbs grace these walls as well as a handful of traditional offerings. Unfortunately there are really no options for moderately graded sport routes with the bulk of the bolted routes being 5.12.

Getting There Suggest change

Folllow the same approach and parking used for China Cave- a lovely 5 minute rolling riverside stroll.
