Description Suggest change

The cave is the most overhanging rock of Dry Creek. There are two minimally bolted routes in the area, though there seems to be potential for some more wildly overhanging development. Both existing routes are run out, and belaying during high tide is an invigorating experience due to the waves crashing nearby. Both routes share their final two bolts and the top anchors and after the first 20 feet of overhanging climbing continue up an easy (5.2) face that does little but add rope drag to the climb.

Getting There Suggest change

After descending the shoulder of the main rock, go around to the right until you see an overhanging rock down to the left. Scramble down the scree and have fun.
