Windy Cave Guide

A Crag Guide gives an extensive view of all sub areas and climbs at a point in the index. It shows a snapshot of the index heirachy, up to 300 climbs (or areas) on a single web page. It shows selected comments climbers have made on a recently submitted ascent.

At a minor crag level this should be suitable for printing and taking with you on a climbing trip as an adjunct to your guidebook.

description

Few routes in an eerie cave. The routes are a bit dusty, but the setting is unlike anything else you have seen before. Small caving experience included in order to get to the main chamber of the cave.

The sky windows inside the cave provide a minimum of lighting, so you can also go without headlamp.

approach

Small cave entrance on the Air-con Wall. Just left of the start of the Route 'Show Off the Police'.

The passage from entrance to main cave chamber is quite dark and you won't see anything. A headlamp is useful but not absolutely required as you can also 'feel' your way into the main chamber. Some crouching is required. Once you reach the main chamber you should be able to see without any artificial light.

5c, Pitch 1: Straightforward, juggy face climbing. 15m, 10 bolts

6a+, Pitch 2: 25m, 15 bolts. Climb the face and finish at a set of rappel rings and rap down or veer left to another set of anchors and the 3rd pitch of the climb.

5a, Pitch 3, 15m, 6 bolts. Easier climbing. Belay from the first set of anchors you see. Rap off the next set of rap rings. 60 meter rope will get you to the ground (tie knots)

It is a good idea to check for bees before you climb this route. The final rappel descends right in front of bee hives where the route "A Wild Ride on a Crazy Horse" is located.
