Rockfax Description
An awesome line in and out of the hanging cave. Probably best done in one pitch although a hanging stance is possible at a lower-off in the cave. Starting from a tufa lump, climb steeply left and then back right and up to reach a nasty jam. Using the jam make wild moves to access the hanging cave. Bridge outwards to the edge and make a powerful sequence of moves to reach a jug and easier climbing. © Rockfax

βeta: Well good! Section in to the cave is pretty cheeky, getting to the crack feels very spanned. The best sequence I found was actually a little to the left: using a good jug with the lh to make a big move to a little rh drag, then bumping lh out through a few holds to try and get a sidepull in the niche. Not quite as good as superbowl as it feels a bit more morpho but still really good, deserves attention.
