The Cave Area
About The Cave Area:
This area is high on the hill above the road driving in to the main parking area by the baseball fields. If you're walking out of the parking lot go right for about 25 yards past the baseball field to a small trail heading into the woods. You'll walk about 25 feet past a fenced in area on the right and then the trail you're on will be joined by a trail coming down the hill from the left. After these two trails meet walk about 30 feet to the right. Look up the hill on the left side of the trail. In the fall you should be able to see a small broken cliff high up. Walk up through the woods. There are only three problems established to date in this area but there is the potential for more lines. The most prominent feature is the overhanging cave area which marks the left side of this formation. A traverse of the lip has been worked on but never completed here. The other problems are fun because they're away from the foot traffic and noise which is much more present at some of the other areas in the Tourne. |
