Description 

A brilliant, exposed, slightly overhung JUGGY arete/face climb. Except for a couple of wild moves, most of the route is left of the arete.

The 5.10 approach pitch is not bad and should not keep you off this climb.


Location 

To the right of the Sunnyside slab is an obvious arete high up. That is the second pitch.

Just as Steve's Arete may be the most OVER-appreciated route around Tucson, Chunky Monkey may be the most under-appreciated. One of the best 5.11s in So. Az. It is better than Steve's (IMNSHO) and never sees any traffic. Good send Wing !

I like both pitches - I think the lower pitch is much more interesting than the other 10 on the Sunnyside slab. The second pitch is great! Plus awesome view at the top and at the belay ledge as bonus.

John, thank you for telling me about this route and did it with me. I used to think it only matters if the routes are good. I am started to think maybe it also matters who I did the route with.

EFer...I could be wrong...if you know for sure I'll change it. I don't have Dean's number.

I thought Dean did the two pitch thing to the right, with Scott Brockmeyer.
