Description

Start to the left of a ledge and haul on huge pockets to the first bolt. More pockets and edges to the second bolt, then it gets briefly thinner without pockets to the third. Big pockets to the fourth bolt and then the angle eases considerably to less than vertical through the fifth bolt and then the chains.

Important safety tip: Don't fall at the fifth bolt (although if you made it that far, you'd really have to be asleep to manage a fall).

If the climbing through the first four bolts were duplicated above this would be as good as

Monkey Meet

.

Location

Located on an indentation on the right side of the main

Escape Buttress

wall. This is the 8th route from the left on the main wall, or, alternatively, 4th from the right.

Protection
