| You can also descend between The Mikado and Crown Jewels by crawling through a small hole and down a couple of wide chimneys. It will drop you a lot closer to your packs, but it's a bit of a grunt and it may not save you much time. |

| The start's a little tricky, a fun route, too short. Should've read the descent beta, ended up climbing over the back and walking around (d'oh!) |

| Short but felt a bit stiff for a 5.6. Thanks, Skip! |

| Top roped this route with a #11 BD hex #2 camalot, and 2 30' slings, one sling cinched around a rock up top. Mostly large pro needed for TR. There is and easy ascent to set the top rope about 20' left of the duchess, once on top, just keep going over til you get to the climb. Nice crack climb! |

| A #4 camalot protects the first move. We descended by traversing to climber's left across an exposed ledge system to a bolted rap station. |

| Fun short route with the crux at the start of the open book. Above the crux it's a blast and has opportunities for hand/foot jams and holds outside the crack as well. |

| A nice little climb. You can get off the Feudal Wall from the top of Mikado(and avoid further up- or down-climbing thru nasty-looking chimneys) by traversing West (left) on ledges and through a slot to the belay/rap anchors at the top of Monaco; a short (~60ft) and steep rappel brings you quickly back to the ground. |
