Description

A volcanic cave underground with short, highly featured overhung routes on very sharp rock. Be prepared to brush dust off your cloths, gear and holds (bring a brush). Crash pads would be ideal, though a top rope can be set where the hole in the ceiling is, in the center of the cave's largest room.

Getting There

From Kelbaker Road, drive up the dirt road for 15 minutes until you reach the Lava Tube parking lot and trailhead. Hike up the fire road for 300 ft and then go right where the metal stakes are. Set up a top rope at the first hole in the ground and then walk into the cave down the metal staircase.
