Ascents of Caves Route Direct

Less fun because it was wet.

Some new terrain. Started lower and further left than this topo shows for a longer pitch.

Headed to cave 5 today, Climbed with Tom we took some trad gear but ended up being a solo. Found this Direct line a little more breath taking.

34 degree temperature didn't help. Mosquitoes threatened to carry us away. Grant NOT IMPRESSED with the "souvenir" he stood in, right in the middle of the track near the summit. Yeah, Grant... unfortunately it does happen... grubs.

My gratitude and appreciation to whoever installed the series of rapping anchors. They are easily accessed and excellently placed to facilitate a fast and safe descent.

Overall, a big but very enjoyable day out.

Bit scary up the top, by yourself. Keep your head together.

easy good fun. Makes life a lot easier if you take a rope to rap down rather than down climb if your planning on not going to the top.

Rode my bike to Tibro, not sure if its this route but I did a few direct variants including straight up instead of heading right through the first cave, and then straight up again instead of heading left out on the small ledge, hardest move maybe 11? Then rode my bike home, very long and epic day
