From end of fence, find stacked boulder at rim, look left for lower Pine and bare rock of chute. High hazard from falling rock, the reason it was closed.

I tried this carrying a light pack and no rope yet, got to the tiny cave and said "Nope." I wanted to top-rope the sloping face between the crack and the gully, but did not see an un-roped way to get safely to the prominent tree, or to get to the rings. This is not a place I would want to climb enough to bother with gear, or fall to what gear would swing to.
In my opinion, it should not be listed, as if it would keep the kids busy safely.
