About Hobo Cave:

After the path makes a turn to head basically north, parallel with the train tracks, you'll come to a huge "cave" created by exfoliation. The cliffline continues on toward Railroad Rock, and includes a number of routes, sport, trad, and many can be top-roped via easy access to the top just past Railroad Rock. The bolts used to protect routes that are in Hobo Cave are older, and should be considered with caution.
