Description
Sun Cave Right ascends to the same anchor as Sun Cave Direct.
A powerful bouldery start will gain some good cobbles and a large pocket. Angle leftwards to pick up the fifth clip of Sun Cave Direct and finish on the bulge above.
SCR is perhaps the better of the two routes, but the tricky start hits the moment boot rubber touches rock. Both routes are interesting enough to warrant more traffic than they have seen in their ten years.
