Climb pocketed tiers just to the left of the more popular Monkey in the Middle. Though still juggy, it seemed to climb like less of a jug haul than the other routes on this wall.

[Hide Comment] Despite the dirt, this is a great route. If you like Monkey and Geezers, you will certainly enjoy this line too. It has one awkward/insecure clip on it (forget which bolt, it's about half way up), but make good use of an undercling and you will cruise right through this section. Feb 26, 2017

[Hide Comment] Very high first bolt currently and not as juggy as some of the other climbs to reach it. Long stick clip recommended. Oct 16, 2021
