The main cave has a set of harder routes. There are a couple of trad routes on the left-entrance wall, but of most interest are the sport routes inside the depths of the cave. These follow complex lines and end in the middle of nowhere but offer great climbing. There are also a number of other aid routes (not described) which confuse the lines in the cave. Guidebook page 284.
