Description

Follow 6 bolts up to a 2 bolt anchor. IMHO, I think there was 2 distinct cruxes. The first comes right after the 1st bolt getting established on the ledge to clip the 2nd bolt and then going over the small roof after the 3rd bolt. This route felt more difficult to me than its neighbor Printer boy. Rappel with a single 60m.

Location

This route is located just left of Printer Boy on the Endless Wall section of Monitor Rock.

Protection

6 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor with chains. The first bolt spins but I thought it was fine.

Maceyka, dancing right up Wild Flower, followed by The Maze. Both great .10 lines.

Just after the 3rd bolt with the crux behind her.

The moves off the ground seemed very hard with a potential ground fall. Way harder than P1 of Printer Boy. Aug 15, 2010

Good route, but be very careful right below the last bolt. There was a large (6-8 inches on a side) block wedged in the crack that people obviously used. Don't use it or the smaller block keyed in the crack above. Both these had chalk on them but didn't look like they would stay around if I pulled on them. Aug 9, 2013

This is likely the best warmup on the Endless Wall. I recommend a stickclip for the 1st bolt, since the crux is right off the ground. Jul 21, 2020
