3 minute approach from the dirt parking area

Park on the downhill side of the road. This area is popular with locals for dirt biking and other shenanigans above the cliff so make sure not to block the various trails heading uphill.

Description

Sandstone reminiscent of Northwest Arkansas with several amazing roof features. Over 30 bolted routes ranging from 5.8-5.12, although the meat and potatoes is in the 5.11++. Several nice boulder problems have also been established with the potential for many more.

South facing, although shade can almost always be found at the base of climbs.

Monegaw has a storied history and has been well traveled, as you will note from the myriad amounts of graffiti dating well back into the 1800's.
