Start on the jug on the right arete and follow the obvious line across the 45 degree wall. Reach the crack in the dihedral and continue up to a triangular jug. From here, jump off.

If sharp crimps are your thing, be sure to give this one a go.  

  Start on the very blunt arete on an obvious two handed crimp seam. Follow a few small crimps to a larger hold and then mantle up over the top.

Climb the ball. Start off with fist jams and trend rightward.

Starting on the big jug on the left arete, follow the long arete up the boulder.

Brace yourself for perhaps the hardest v2 on the mountain. Being able to crimp v-hard will not automatically mean you will be able to power up this arete. Be prepared for a fun challenge deciphering this technical climb.  

  Balance up the left side of the arete.

Start with your left hand on a sloping rail and your right hand on a good crimp sidepull.  Get a high right foot and dyno for the slopey lip, then mantle over.  This problem was originally climbed at V5, using the right hand side pull and a small left hand crimp up high.  The crimp now appears to be broken off, making the dyno significantly longer and more difficult.

stand start with a side pull for your right and an edge out left right above the chalked up slopey rail. get a high foot and carefully go for one of the crimps up high. top out straight above. a v3 variation exists starting from the slopey rail.

This is a rather tall boulder with a somewhat relatively flat landing. Climb the small seam that splits the face of this boulder.  

  Start on a low pinch for your right and a pocket for your left.

Start on the right side of the obvious pit. Follow the rail leftward until you reach the large brick sized hold at the base of the sweeping feature. Stab up for the slopers at the lip and mantle over.

Just to the left of Sumo Wrestler, climb the slab.

Its easy to locate this climb. This powerful yet somewhat short line has a really nice landing and is situated in the cave itself. 

  Start with two high fingerlocks in the crack. Using bad foot smears, power up and exit left around the roof.

The Caves offer a nice concentration of some very interesting climbs. Theres a little for everyone in the Caves. From v0 warm ups to v10 face climbs, the range of climbs and their close proximity to each other make the Caves a great destination. This location is similar to Hanger 18 in that it offers a full days worth of climbing in such a small radius.
