Description

Scramble up the forth-class corner/chimney on the far left side of the cave to a small ledge and bolted belay anchor. Belay from here. Alternatively, you can belay from the ground, at the base of the fourth-class corner/chimney, so long as the leader uses long runners and/or back cleans the first couple of bolts. 

Climb up low angle rock with plenty of side pulls to a steep bulge in a small left-facing corner. Then climb the face to the arête out right with some blind reaches around the arête. Enjoy the cool position as you climb the arête to the anchor. Possibly a decent warm-up for the area.

The wide crack on the left up high hasn't been cleaned and is best avoided in favor of the clean rock on the arête to the right.

Location

Furthest left route at the Solar Cave area. Scramble up the forth-class corner/chimney on the far left side of the cave to a small ledge and bolted belay anchor. Belay from here.

Protection

8 bolts to a two-bolt anchor. There's a bolted belay anchor on the small ledge. You can lower the climber all the way to ground level when done climbing.
