Description
Spectacular. This is located just past the third corridor (The Balcony) on the left (southeast) heading into the Vestibule. It runs a line of bolts just right of the arete (formed by meeting between the right side of the Balcony and the Vestibule proper) up a steadily overhanging wall. Reach across from the large boulder and preclip the first bolt then head back down to the deck. Climb past the first bolt (bouldery) and up into the first pumpy crux. Look for rests before tackling the final thin and technical moves.

I didn't think the Monastery was granite...? I've actually been wondering what kind of rock it is for a few years now.
The Monastery is a mix of pegmatite (think Black Canyon), nearly granite, and high grade metamorphics (mostly metapelites = schist). This is a very old metamorphic terrane and excellent evidence for continental drift. But the climbing is the cool part!

EDIT: I blew the fourth clip and did crater into the boulder. Make sure you have a really attentive belay in that area. My fall was caught off guard by my belayer and myself and with good communication and a tight belay, you should not deck. Jun 22, 2017
