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.).

Description

The lower detached cliff that has 3 crack climbs, just below the large slabs of the West Faces.

Getting There

Walk north from the Crest Trail parking area towards the Lower Deck wall. There is no trail to begin with, but a rough game trail becomes obvious if you stay at the same elevation as the parking lot - stay above the thick tree line and below any large rock formations and you should avoid any bushwhacking.
