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.
