This route is on Cerberus Wall and right accross the shuttle bus stop at Big Bend. Cross the road and take the trail with a climber sign on it up to the wall and turn left until the base of the route. This route is just to the left of Squeeze Play. The route gets into shade in the afternoon. It is called the cave route because there is a cave or large opening behind the rocks on top of the route.

Route Description

Fun intro to Zion.

This route is probably the most popular route with people first time in the park to get a taste of the climbing. It is definitely a nice moderate route but not to be underestimated because it starts pretty wide without jams, have your #4 camalot ready. The size varies quite a bit and there are bulges which can be overcome using plenty good footholds. The top part becomes quite thin but I think the footholds keep the rate low. There are chain anchors on the top. One can use this as a top rope to play on the face to the right.

Essential Gear

Definitely have a #4 camalot for the start of the route, you could even use a #5 but be creaful not to overcam it. For the rest of the route singles of red and yellow aliens and single set of camalots from #0.5 to 3 camalots should be sufficient. A single 60m rope will be long enough.
