Cave Route (original) >>
32m. The soaring line of Cave Route Right yields a superb climb. There is much fixed gear but extra wires are still required. With these in place it is 7b+. The main dificulties are the bulge at 8m, the shallow niche at 1/3 height and the peg pockets below the often-wet upper crack. A second pitch climbs out of the cave at 6a. © ROCKFAX

Fell off once near the top. Damn. Virtually a clip up back in the day apart from one friend and one nut. Didn't do pitch 2. Would be sport 7b.
