We 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 Route
A 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.
