3. The Monkey ***

Isa Oehry climbing out underneath the Monkey roof

Difficulty: 5.8+, 75 ft.

Protection: G

Description: An interesting boulder move to the right of the MONKEY DIRECT up a right slanting crack leads to easier climbing and a tuft of grass at the start of the MONKEY finger traverse. Traverse out left under the overhang on an exciting finger crack to a small stance at the far left end of the traverse. Climb straight up through the overhang to a stance (sand bag 5.8). A hard move up right leads to another stance. Move up along a small crack (takes stopper) slightly left to better cracks and top anchors.

First Ascent: Al Romano, Arni Jr. and Bob Kirbach, mid 1960's, with home made pitons and a nylon rope from the marine supply store.
