Description Suggest change

This was the third route on the Monolith predated only by the "Left-hand Traverse" in 1935 and the "Right-hand Traverse" in 1947. Reportedly several pitons were placed but locating those placements is very difficult. With the addition of routes in the general area and their bolts it is possible to find a few pieces of protection but this is still a very serious climb.

Location Suggest change

Start at the same place as the Direct Route. Angle up and right heading for lower angle slopes leading to the summit.

Protection Suggest change

Because you will be clipping bolts on routes added after this climb was done, the number of bolts you clip, and hence the number of quick draws to bring, depends on the actual route taken. It is best to consult a guidebook with a topo before setting out. Rappel from chains on the summit boulder.
