Description

Flakes and face climbing gain a groove that leads into the offwidth. The gear in the first 20 feet is tricky. It may be possible to layback the wide crack, although that presents it own set of problems. The true offwidth climbing is only about a body length.

Location

Furthest downhill end of the formation. From where the trail meets the wall at Monkey Business (discontinuous cracks in face) walk around the corner to the left. Find the two obvious left curving offwidths in middle of the wall. Pick one. Rap from shuts w/o chains on ledge (may have pull issues), or move right to the better anchor atop Monkey Business to rap

Protection

Pro to 5", cold shut anchors. Thin stuff to start, then hand to offwidth size cams. Without a #5 friend sized piece it is a bit of a stretch before reaching a smaller placement.
