Description

Sit start matched with both hands on a massive jug found inside the cave. Pull onto the wall and fire up to another giant hold. Reach up to another large hold and mantle up into the scoop-like feature. Traverse the groove leftwards towards the arete utilizing some good holds in a horizontal crack. Once to the arete, reach up to positive holds and topout. A great climb that has a bit of everything, from overhanging deadpoints to some presses and stemming. A great warm up, and a fun line to do at anytime. This line has great handholds and footholds the entire way.

A low start was done as well starting with both hands on a small sloping horizontal rail, it might add a grade but not quality, so starting on the jug is the climb.

Location

This problem is found on the uphill side of the large boulder in the cave. Either climb down into the hole using the jug start for feet, or climb through the smaller corridor to reach the start. One can toss a pad into the hole.

 From the roof section of the boulder (the downhill side with all of the hard problems) walk up the hill and this cave will be on the left. "Tragic Flaws" is found directly behind this problem.

Protection

2-3 pads. Not sure where the fall zone would be, but the landing is not the best. The climber can get a hands-free rest in multiple sections of this climb.
