Start low and compressed on the right side of the cave on a good edge (just left of starting jug for Curls for the Squirrels). Move up left to a crack in thick shard and then move your right hand to a corner edge along the overhang. Adjust your feet, and make a big move up and left to a pretty good edge. Continue straight up using a narrow crack, and then finish same as “Squirrel Cave”.It is #5 in the route guide.

Start low on the left shelf of the cave (covered in acorns). Move outwards from the cave and up to a wide, horizontal crack. Move up/right to jugs, and then use decent, sloped crimp and sidepulls in thin, vertical seam to top out.It is #4 in the route guide.

Start on the lower crimp of the obvious, zig-zag seam on the right side of the cave. Move straight up right of the obvious bulge, and then top out trending left above the bulge.It is #7 in the route guide.

Start on a sloped pinch left of the cave, just below main, horizontal crack. Make a big move over a small overhang, and continue straight up to chunks of quartz in the rock. Move right along the quartz and then straight up vertical seam to top out.#2 in route guide

Start on an obvious two part jug on the right side of the cave just left and up from of a large shelf. Move straight up and over the obvious bulge. The crux sequence is a move up to a bad, left hand crimp off of not-so-great holds and then a big right hand deadpoint onto a jug over the lip pulling off the half pad, left hand crimp.It is #6 in the route guide.

Start low on the left shelf of the cave (covered in acorns). Move outwards from the cave and up to a wide, horizontal crack. Move up along a thin quartz seam to top out. This is a great direct variation of Squirrel Cave that is a bit easier.#3 in route guide

Start on a sloped pinch left of a cave just below main horizontal crack. Make a big move over a small overhang, and continue straight up over a bulge to top out.#1 in route guide

Start matched on a huge juggy flake below a large shelf. Move left to a jug, and then go up on a good crack and a sloper to top out.The route is named for a crack feature that looks like sharp jaws.It is #9 in the route guide.

Start as for Crystalline, but traverse right across the cave, under a bulge, and top out the same as for Tetris. One crux is moving to the sidepulls for Tetris. Though long and pumpy, none of the moves are super hard, but prepare for Tetris to feel a lot tougher after a lot of V1 moves and a V4 crux.

Start on the southeast corner matched on a good undercling. Move straight up arête to top out.It is #8 in the route guide.

Squirrel Cave is a nice, south-facing, 15 footer with a variety of good climbs and great rock quality. Plenty of nice warm up problems but also some challenging climbs as well
