Description

Monkey Trial is a fun mixed line that shares the start of Hollow Be Thy Name. Start with 2 well-spaced bolts (gear) and then branch out right past two pins and a bolt. Angle left past the final pin (crux) and follow thin crack systems to the top (gear). You can clip a nearby bolt on an adjacent route near the top.
