Overhanging, fairly strenuous to place gear for the grade. The crux is figuring out what gear is good and what is suspect and worthless. Classic, if you like to climb obscure rock with an uncertain outcome of self preservation.

Cave Route

Start at cave void, then straight up crack and horizontals. a lot harder than it looks.

The cliff stands over 40 ft. or so high and about 75 feet wide and  overhanging. Super featured, with a lot of climbing for such a compact area. An independent line every 4 or 5 feet if you want. Big horizontals, with great crimpers and juggy holds similar to climbing at the gunks. But the rock is peppered with weird pockets, that make it unique and very interesting climbing. Steep and pumpy, most routes are harder than 5.8- 5.9. Most could be trad led, but watch out for rock quality . Its mostly solid, with a few crumbly spots. All in a nice quiet wooded setting with no road noise. I call it ravens roost , as it had a nest full of fledgling ravens about 3/4 of the way up , last time i was there.
