Description

Located just up the canyon from the popular Molly Area, this area has some great problems at all grades, but you'll need to search them out.

The prize problems are located in the Misery Cave, so make sure you seek them out.

Getting There

Walk up the canyon until possible to drop down into the cave. The cave is located down, almost under the access path.
