About six meters right of Breeze Block, accessed by following a track from the terrace and right through the bush (looking in) to a cleaned and bolted groove line. Climb the groove (faces right), moving left to another groove and onto a balanced block. Climb the slabby wall then follow the featured rock up the right edge of the cave and then up to steeper ground to the chains. To improve rope drag on this route extend the ninth bolts with a 60cm sling, and 30cm on the seventh.
