Description 

A fun cave hidden between a boulder and a small cave just behind the umbrella boulder. Fun route that's fairly short and may be soft for the grade Start in the cave move out to a flake and then hit the crux which is a fairly good crimp out right then pop up to the jug above your head, then hands up to good holds on top. Top out and jump off. Pretty straight forward when you see it. This is a newer route and the holds as still a little rough on your hands, this route is ultra fun because of the inverted climbing for a few moves.

"Today i cleaned a route that climbs to the right of this problem and meets up at the jug "finish hold"... My line continues straight up the boulder to a pretty moderate though dangerous top out (5.8 or 5.9)... So though i didn't intend it, i have created a finish to this problem if anyone wanted to climb it..." this was from Lee this is an option if you dont want to jump off after the drop off... Thanks lee


Other possible variations going out left from this problem...looks hard!!

Location 

It's a cave hidden on the black jack boulder, get to it by walking by the umbrella boulder and instead of going down the hill walk straight past a birch tree and its right there.

Protection 

Pad and spotter because you dont want to hit your head on the boulder,
and maybe a small carpet (to wipe your shoes on) because the landing may be muddy.
