Awesome Day, I've always had a blast on cavers, night time accents recommended.

That is how I got into climbing. I was caving with the BG Grotto. I remember rope-climbing the 300+ Ft. from the bottom of Frog's Head (backside of princess staircase) on prussic knots just for practice--CRAZY. After I went out climbing with the U. Kentucky Physics students (Krampus et. al.) there was no going back to caving.

I agree. and from the info I got on this thread, we have decided not to take them there. That is the reason I posted it, rather than waist time hiking out to it and realizing it is too much.

If you dont know what you are getting in to, do you need to take a bunch of new climbers with you?

I can see the headlines now.......

SUPER easy 1st pitch, slightly harder 2nd pitch, bolt anchors at the top of each pitch for easy toproping, and a nice view of the red after the top out. protects with a standard rack .5-3 BD bring some slings for the second pitch. lots of shorter fun and easy single pitch stuff there along the main wall too.

I think this sounds better. We could lead it and let the noobs top rope it. Any more feedback on this route would be appreciated.

Thanks possum, much appreciated, but I think this forum is as good a venue as any for my tales of old.
