Rafiki starts just right of

Monkey Puzzle

following 6 bolts up an overhanging wall. Climb both the face and the wide crack on the right (.10+) up to the fourth bolt. A knee bar rest helps in clipping bolt 4.

Indeed, two light taps of the hammer sent the 500 pound sword earthward where it impaled itself two feet deep into the ground. Agamemnon would be proud. The Un-named Monkey ascends the continuously steep face just right of

by surmounting a strenuous bulge that is followed by a fully extended dyno. Difficult and interesting moves throughout make this a very worthwhile endeavour. A possible, but uncompleted, left hand variation could bring up the difficulty to 5.13. Good strenuous addition.

6 bolts + 2-bolt anchor, 45'.
