Description
Is it a bouldering zone or a fun top-roping sector? You decide. Anyway ...
This is the place to hang out over around the Monkey Boat. The routes are short, but with lots of fun monkey-moves packed in -- and the lines are so close together you can top-rope several of them from the same tree anchor.
. (If sometime you're visiting the Eastside Sierras of California for all kinds of great climbing (or skiing, or biking, or hiking or backpacking), you can also climb at the other Monkey Bar -- indoor bouldering refuge at Mammoth Lakes California -- offered by the excellent shop Mammoth Mountaineering Supply ).
Top-Roping: To access top of cliff to set up top anchor, scramble around left (west) side of left section of this sector (so left of the route "U Name it Pete").
Or perhaps easier to start way right (east), even past the whole Dragon slab, then scramble up around the left side of the Beard boulder, then across the top of The Nose and Dragon sectors to reach the top of the Monkey Bar sector.
Getting There
Follow instructions for the Giving Tree sector, then scramble uphill (NW) rather steep about 45 feet / 20 meters.
