Grungy
Okay route... fairly good pro and some good dihedral moves to start but quickly turning into awkward climbing in bad chimney grooves. Above the second squeeze a direct line at about 5.8 is best to take you to the cave ledge, otherwise it's weird wandering. Decent climb....poor exposure, never really felt like we were off the ground. Kinda grungy.

Cave Route
We had to wait for the weather (rain) to clear before hiking in to climb this route. There was a large, loose block just to the left of the first belay station.
I didn't find any acceptable way to protect the traverse near the top, but I did put a 00 TCU in a flaring crack for psychological pro. My buddy just rolled his eyes when he saw it!
We hiked in from the bottom to approach this climb - which was a mistake if you are interested in getting there quickly. If we ever do this one again, we'll approach by dropping down from the crest.
