New Routes by Crag ~ Cave Hole

Route Name Grade First Ascentionist Description Date Climbed
The Cult of John Craven F7b Pete Oxley A super little wall climb that deserves you wear your best jumper, one for the country file! Start 2m right of Air Hoodlum at the base of the HVS escape route above the kettle hole ledge. Climb easily to a jug at the base of the escape groove. Forcefully trend LW on a series of sidepulls poised above the arete on poor footholds. Better incuts gain the top. 4BR?s LO last BR or belay to blocks on top. January 24th 2005
Good Night, and Good Luck E5 6b/c Pete Oxley Starts just inside the South side of the cave just right of Leave my sole alone.Start up the Southern easy pillar then cut loose and swing right on the lowest lip of the cave roof using spaced pockets ( reversing the finish of Final Transmission ). Once clear of an overhead prow after 3m explode outwards from the rail line to catch a completely hidden mega jug right on the lip, once held pull over and relocate shoulder joints!(Pete's last addition to Portland!: Ed) July 28th 2006
Final Transmission E5 6b ( 7b ) Pete Oxley Start immediately to the North of 'Leave my sole alone', just inside the North side of the cave 2m from the down climb pillar. Sustained and pumpy acrobatics traversing the cave roof using the obvious pocket line. Start boldly as for Guerilla Radio then continue left on spaced pockets right on the lowest lip of the roof using revolving 180 degree swings to polish up those abs. Once one reaches the other side after 8m descend to sea level using the opposing pillar. July 28th 2006
Guerilla Radio E4 6b ( 7a+ ) Pete Oxley A Hard and reachy roof. Start up the right side of cave (as for Final Transmission) then swing boldly horizontally left on the cave lip using a hand rail for 3m until it fades out, a submerged rock ledge tempers this first section. Once clear of the bad landing launch LW to twin jugs and up the apex of a blunt arête easing quickly to the top. July 28th 2006
Cold Feet E1 5c Josh Leonard (Solo) A low tide, lower level traverse beneath 'Penny Lane'. From the beach in the cave below a small arete gain and traverse the lower level break on rounded holds, feet on the undercut foot ledge, to finish on the ledge by 'Makin' Bacon'. July 10th 2007
