Description:

Starting from the back right corner of the "cave", work up to the roof, then layback and jam the wide crack forming the right corner of the roof all the way out to the end. Delicately turn the roof and continue up moderate blocks and flakes to a ledge. Down low, do not use left wall as you face into the "cave". Note: there is a nest halfway up the route so check for birds first.

4 out of 5 stars great route!

I loved the moves getting up to the over hang. Once you have your hand over the overhang you are done, it is smooth sailing from there. The nest is still there, but no birds this late in the season.
