This is the leftmost route of the four Cave Route climbs, and heads straight up the face of the cave to the top anchor.

Stick clipping the first bolt is probably a good idea, as the not so soft talus floor of The Cave probably isn't very nice to land in.

Head up using all your strength through pumpy overhanging reachy moves using large jugs and anything else that helps.

You will probably hate yourself for top roping any Cave Wall route, as it's overhung enough to make getting yourself back on the wall a pumpy 5.10 move.

Climbing gets easier as you head up, but not much!

Grotto Monkey

Dwarf Toss

This is the second leftmost (uphill) route on the wall, and heads straight up for the four bolts and then traverses left to the top anchor.

The first bolt is reachy, and the crux is getting yourself to it, so it's probably a good idea to stick clip the first bolt.

Crux is getting yourself over the first roof, and is quite hard if you're under six feet tall, though it can be done using a small sidepull grip below the corner of the roof.

Once you get over the first roof climbing gets simpler, with .11a jug moves.

An alternate start involves doing the start of Grotto Monkey (the climb just left) and carefully traversing yourself right to the large horn and large flake system above the first bolt.

You will probably hate yourself for top roping this and all other routes on the Cave Wall, as it often takes a .10ish move to just pull yourself back onroute if you fall off.
