Description 

The routes in this area are mostly gear lines. This area is also home to The Monument. One of the most stunning single pitch lines anywhere.

Getting There

After going through/near some trees a couple times watch for where the trail heads right and into the woods for a little bit.

Watch out for Rattlesnakes.
