essentially a right hand start to 'karma police'. climbs a short boulder problem then moves directly into the crux section of 'karma'. maybe not as good because it skips the fun intro to karma, but still worth doing.

easily the best route in the cave.

fun, tricky, and dynamic movement. a knee pad proved useful.

not sure if the top has been opened yet, but ending on karma police adds another cruxy move and some good pulling.

start as for 'el jefe', bust right after the crux along the rail to the hole on 'riff raff', then continue up 'riff'.

a fun link up, worth a go really.

Chossy climbing to the first bolt, then brilliant horizontal moves on jugs. difficult crux pulling the lip.

Some say it's soft for the grade.

Bouldery start onto small ledge, (stick clip first bolt). Work through somewhat funky rock to crack/seam then straight up to anchors.

Scramble through loose section to 1st bolt and jugs. Then proceed up overhang to sharp, but massive jugs. Keep powering as the route veers right and then straight up to anchors.

Bouldery start to underclings on small roof. Use crack through roof to get over roof to crimps then massive jugs. Finishes on sharp pockets with a couple of powerful moves to the anchors.

The routes name comes from a bee hive located in a pod just left of the route.

sequential and powerful, has a bolt in the very back of the cave for the belayer. merges left into karma police at the top. feels noticeably harder than everything else in the cave.

the poopy hole may need cleaned out from time to time, but if you're on this route before/after birds take up residence, it should stay clean.

beta intensive, bouldery roof climbing. some holds have been taken over by bird nests.

Either start left of the first bolt or winch start to the first bolt. Move diagonally right to crux at bolt 4. Good pockets up top.

Work up small flake to big holds, lieback on positive holds to great pocketed short upper section to anchors. A very fun routejust wish it was twice as long.

fun, popular route. great movement.

some trickery has discovered knee pads to be useful.

a decent warm-up for the main cave. grovel at the lip...

once the trickery is learned, it doesn't feel hard anymore.

has been done without the tram start, but it's not really worth doing.
