Description 

This is a good route in the middle of the Monolith's east face. It has 2 starts. You can go from down below and make it 11a or you can start above skipping the first 2 bolts. If you don't go down into the subterranean bit, it goes at 10a or so.

Follow an appealing face with neat, embedded rocks protruding from the matrix. Pass 7 or 9 bolts. There is a runout bit near the top above the last bolt.


Location 

This is in the middle of the east face of the Monolith. It is just right of Post Orgasmic Depression.


Protection 

7-9 bolts, depending on the start. 3 bolt anchor.

Very fun to start from the pit. Only one hard move.

Starts by stepping to the right off of the main platform that most of the routes start off of. This route is the second to the right of POD and immediately right of Hawaiian Noises.

I did the pit start years ago and don't remember it but it does appear to have Leper hangers.
