Description:

Location is about 75 yards north of Jim Dandy, up a hill and around a corner, First pitch has 3 bolts and goes under a ledge to the right, hence the name Cave route. Second pitch has 1 bolt and is run out but easy to climb. This will top out at the Lunch ledge where you can continue up one more pitch to the Lightning Ledge, or choose another route to take to the top.

4 out of 5 stars Fun, very casual, climb.

The route was a little tough to find at first, but once we got on it, it was great fun. Really easy, good for just a casual day out on the rocks. Yeah, it's kinda bolted, but a couple trad pieces really help the run outs. Only did the first 2 pitches to Lunch Ledge, then went up and left from there to the rap rings above Jim Dandy for 2 raps on dual ropes down, instead of the walk off. The second pitch isn't very well defined, but just shoot for the trees up and right of the ramp around the corner from the belay station, and you should be good. Great views, overall pretty cool, calm climb.
