Description:
This is a fantastic route in Paradise Forks that starts in a waterfall cave (lots of stemming required), moves through a pumpy overhang, and onto a set of twin cracks. It's one of the best moderates in the area and is a very solid lead with lots of protection.

Its good
Definitley kind of weird environment going on down there, half expect a teenage mutant ninja turtle to jump out at any time. Keep an eye out for jugs as the black rock can make them difficult to spot.

Oodles of stemming fun!
Loved this climb. One of the few I think I can lead at the Forks at this point.
