Before you go
Conditions, access, and honest warnings.
- Out and back, gaining steadily the whole way with no flat recovery sections.
- The alcove at the top is the only shade on the route. Everything below it is fully exposed.
- Seeps near the cave keep rock damp and slick even when the desert around you is bone dry.
