Approach
Either Trail to Monkey Face. The Route Starts on the obvious 5 bolts to the crack.
Route Description
P1 Aid 5 bolts to a C2 crack follow the crack for about 100 feet, a few tricky placements, but cam hooks and offset nuts make it easier, clip a few more bolts and matle to the belay on a small ledge. (C2)
P2 Follow bolts to either belay anchors. (C1)
P3 Follow bolts to low 5th moves into the incredible west face cave. (C1 Low 5th)
