Berthoud Cave
This is located up above the Buddha Cave and Buddha Boulder. This is a sunny spot and offers some of the longest horizontal roof climbing in the Front Range. Most parties get to jugs at the lip of the cave and jump back down to the pads. Add a V grade if you top it out, however.
FAs are unclear on most of these. There are lots of low starts and different variations on problems. Feel free to chime in with any known FAs.
