"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

hot dayWe planned to do multi-pitch, but since it rained that night before and this part of the wall was dry, we went onto a sunny and hot single pitch climbs.

Cave RouteA single page for all of these single pitches? The Cave Route is classic (as seen in the Eiger Sanction). I have led it several times. First time I thought nothing of it even though I was told it was sandbagged a little. The 2nd time I was with a relatively new climber, and since falling was not an option, I actually understand where the "sandbagging" factors in via that circumstance. Once you unlock that perpendicular crack on the steep section, it goes like clock work. Need your #4 somewhere on the way up as I recall. You can rap the route vs walking off as the guide book suggests.

Cave RouteFooled around on this route one afternoon after a fun day of canyoneering in Keyhole and Pine Creek.
