About 20 feet above the top of the cave, there is this anchor on the face. I didn't use it for my pitch 1 anchor since there's nice stance for natural anchor right at top of cave), but this is where I traversed left to get back to the main crack/dihedral.

From the paved hiking trail past the wooden-ladder-viewing-tubes. Looking up at the cave. You can't see the cave when at the start of this route.

The top of pitch 2. I am rapping off the Exit Us anchors to the left.
Looking down to the base of the route (starts at an old dead tree).
The cave. It doesn't open up in the back, and you can't go through it.
The path I took, seemed easiest. At the top I traversed left to Exit Us rap station just because I didn't want to futz around with another anchor. A #5 C4 protects that traverse.
I hope this isn't the route. As I went up I clawed those bushes out of the crack.
