Access Issue: US Forest Service land. The north and west of Monjeau peak are in the White Mountain Wilderness.
Details
Before putting any hardware in, please be aware of if you are in the Wilderness and know Wilderness rules (No power tools etc.). Please work with the local climbers / US Forest Service before installing hardware. The current District ranger would like to be collaborated with before any permanent hardware is installed on the Smokey Bear Ranger District.
Description
The knob is the peak just east of the road leading up to the lookout. Covered in boulders and a few larger faces, this is where the best concentration and quality bouldering for the Monjeau area is located. This is also a really cool area scramble around and catch a sunset.
Routes will be added to MP as we get pictures
If you have to go, please pack out your poo, as there are few spots to bury it.
Getting There
Park at the lookout or on the bend close to the open grassy area that crosses to the knob. This is the first large obvious face of rocks/cliff that you see when coming up towards Monjeau.
