Strenuous. Move onto the face right of the cave and hand traverse left following an obvious line of jugs. Pass over the cave to its left side. Now reverse to the starting point, or for a superior workout, drop down and follow 'Exit Cave Left' back up to a jug line, then traverse right to the starting point.

Beef Traverse

Pandemic

Highlawn Cave Left Crack

Icarus

Highlawn Project #1

Left Crack Cave Start

Epidemic

Highlawn Project #2

RATING UNKNOWN. Start in the cave and climb out the widest part of the ceiling to a series of painful finger lock in a vertical crack. Destined to be a very big number problem, at least V10 (Neil Sloane 2000).

 I've been pretty rusty and am not too sure of the grade. It may be more difficult depending on ape index, as the holds you can use will change. Start deep in the cave on a good undercling. Make a series of moves on the various underclings and sharp crimps to make your way to the start of Epidemic. The most proud line in the cave, and takes a while to decipher because of the many available poor holds. 

Start from the same horizontal crack as 'Highlawn Cave Lip Traverse'. Move right to the first vertical crack and climb to the summit.

Begin with left hand in the lowest finger lock and right hand a long wingspan out right. Lift off and soar straight up to the rim, pumping hard to avoid the fate of Icarus.

Start in the back left corner of the cave, left wall is off for hands. Move to an undercling, then make your way to the small jug below the finger pocket and larger jug. Go straight up from there.

Start with the left hand on the vertical crimp/pinch and the right hand on a sharp half-pad crimp. Make a big move up to a sloping rail, and while maintaining good foot/body tension slap your way to the top!

RATING UNKNOWN. Start on the jugs in the horizontal crack just left of the left end of the ceiling's lip. Traverse right along as line of holds just above the ceiling's lip. Stay below the handholds used in 'Beef Traverse'.

A small outcrop resembling a bouldering cave sits about 400 feet from the Highlawn Pavillion. There's a 25 foot cliff below the overlook. This park is said to hold the hardest bouldering problem in the state but no know ascents have been recorded.
