Description

Start matching on a good sloping edge (shorter folks may jump) where the overhang steepens to a face. Use a combination of the arete and faceholds to reach easier ground to top out.

Location

The route may not have chalk on it, but the rain-protected sit-start (Barrel of Monkeys, V13) should. Look for an obvious overhang with a good starting edge where the boulder turns more vertical. The chalked up sit start at the start of the overhang is Barrel of Monkeys.
