2nd pitch of the Cave route in all its glory. Heavy on the guano with a liberal helping of sand on most holds. The squeeze is fun, but the climb not worth it.

View up the cave route - camera is on a light angle - the ground isn't that steep
That's why it's called squeeze chimney...:)
Looking down through the top of the squeeze chimney to view the belay at the top of P1.
A short way up the first pitch, easy sport lead. Fun.
