Description

Start in the depths of the upper cave on the left wall. A few steep moves off the ground lead up to a tunnel-through section and some slick climbing up into the roof of the upper cave. Problematic to clean unless you back clean or have a follower. The route is kinda dirty and the actually climbing isn’t that good, but the feature is pretty unique.

A dozen or so draws.

Following to clean is recommended. The rap anchor has a Metolious Rap hanger, which you can feed the rope through, and a chain to help equalize the second anchor. Rap off the route after following. Feels like caving so wear a helmet. Jan 17, 2018

Such a unique route. Worth doing just because it's so weird! Very hard to put a grade on it. The crux is probably the first 3 bolts. I'd say that part was solid 5.10 Dec 29, 2018
