Description

Start all the way back in the small cave.

This start involves, beginning as far back as possible, keeping your feet off the ground, pressed against the side walls and hands pressed for confined stemming. (V0)  Now, just inside the cave opening, the line moves out and straight up to the top, following a line of jugs. (V0-) Suggest a spotter for this one, some rocks litter the landing area. Also, one of the jugs inside the cave is thin so use the better part of the hold for a secure undercling.

Location

This line comes out of the obvious small cave opening, at the far north end of the bluff line. To get there, follow the Boulder Ridge Trail down from the campground. Small cave is on the north end of the Den area, where the ridge trail meets the base trail turn. Climb starts as a sit start, as far back in the cave as possible, moving towards the opening. Then the line moves out and straight up to the top, following a line of jugs.
