Description
This route is the farthest right-hand (eastern) route on the South Face of North Cave Rock; the last route that is actually in the Cave Corridor.
Begin on slabs, then head up the steepening face past 3 bolts and several nice knobs. At the 3rd bolt, it seems you used to go straight up (perhaps a knob has broken here) instead head left into a crack/corner system, then up and left to a ledge. Several bolt anchors are to be found up and left.
Descend by downclimbing On Ramp 5.0, a left slanting ramp/chimney on the North Face of the formation.
