Access Issue: Do not climb after rain! Details

Like many areas in the desert, the soft Dakota sandstone here is very fragile and porous, and especially so after recent rainfall - climbs could be permanently damaged or destroyed if climbed on while wet. Additionally, avoid using a wire brush to clean off lichen.

Description

Brass Monkey is a fun, engaging, natural classic! Stand start with your right hand in a 2 finger pocket and your left hand on a jug undercling. Work your way up the angling prow using the vertical rail to a dynamic move to jugs on the ledge before the lip. Hit the lip, and work slightly right for a spicy topout.

Location

This is located in the lower boulders. Take the social trail down just south of the parking at mile marker 7. You will approach the backside of the boulder (the downclimb). The climb is found on the opposite (west) side on the far left looking at the face.
