Description This is a steep climb, described in the guidebook as "spectacular" which certainly draws the eye. It seems to climb steeper than it looks.
Ascend a slightly-overhanging face past 8 bolts. The guidebook notes it was originally climbed without the first bolt.
Location This is on the far left side of the east face of the Monolith. It is left of Post Orgasmic Depression & Several Small Species.
Protection 8 bolts and an anchor.

| Really good route, more techy and devious than POD and with a much more tenuous crux. Great sport climbing. |

| After climbing at the monument my whole life, the consensus is that this route is better than POD : ). |

| More technical and interesting climbing than POD but also with hollower rock at the top.
Has anyone taken a no hands at the 5th bolt in the scoop? Possibly facing out straddling the knob. |
