3 Pitches: 17, 24, 23; Scramble down to a boulder with belayers bolt looking at at P1. Climb out across wet ledges to the first bolts. After clipping the second bolt (in orange rock) return to unclip the first bolt (in black rock) to save drag on the pitch. Following a rising traverse over the churning sea to a minor crux traversing a slippery corner at the last bolt, out to belay on the arete.
P2 traverses hard right, downclimbing a short section to access the line of least resistance. Immaculate stone with wild sculpted features leads you up to a belay ledge. There is an extra bolt for safty at the traverse, which should be reversed and unclipped once past.
P3 slips over a bulge with some difficulty, and then easily through the wildly steep (somewhat rotten) cave feature. There is a belay at the tip of the overhang, then one more bolt and several bomber threads to topout on the jungled summit.

If entering the magic bubblegum cave near Bikini Bottom crag, be careful not to damage any of the delicate cave formations.
