Description 

This is a great, pumpy pitch which climbs a severely overhanging wall, then continues up a steep face with small pockets. It shares the first 3 bolts with "Well-Disciplined Monkey", and then continues on the right bolt line above the overhang (WDM goes left, which is apparently a bit easier). The technical crux is probably getting to the first bolt (recommend clip stick), or turning the lip of the overhang (here there is an inobvious solution which mitigates the difficulty somewhat), but the whole thing is pumpy. The upper face stays challenging and does not have great rests. I did not see anchors up here, and traversed to the anchors on "Well-Disciplined Monkey", which is a bit awkward.


Location 

I believe this is the right-most route on the "30-foot overhanging wall," but shares the first 3 bolts with "Well-Disciplined Monkey." See photo of "Well-Disciplined Monkey" on the main Jungle-Gym page.


Protection 

all bolts- 7-8 draws for the route, and something for the anchor.
