Unknown climber on the beautiful climb Monster Ska...

Add Photo  Add Comment    Printer View

Description 

Perhaps the finest sport climb in Red Rocks. Two bolts of 5.9 jugginess lead to the first of many powerful boulder problems. Enjoy the variety (and the mandetory all points off dyno) and grimace through the crimpers on this beautiful classic!


Location 

Deepest route on the left side of the corridor, next to Sunsplash (5.13b).


Protection 

Chain draws to chains.

I agree with the above, this climb is worldclass. If you ever work a 13b, let it be this one.

A classic 13! A fun start with very cool rock features. For me there were 2 cruxes. One near the beginning with a pinky jam (I believe around the 4th bolt) and the last was the dyno (make sure to catch the edge).

"Working" sounds like a lot of work to me.

definitely world class, one of the hardest moves is right at the beginning with a one finger crack that hurts like hell! great place to take pics
