Description
This route is included to help capture the full history of climbing on the Monolith. Left-hand Traverse was the first route to climb to the top of the Monolith and is also one of the first recorded climbs at, then, Pinnacles National Monument perhaps only preceded by Condor Crags in 1933.
The first ascentionists climbed an oak tree at the northeast corner of the Monolith for about 40 feet then stepped over onto the actual rock near the top of what would later become the first pitch of the Regular Route. From there they climbed up and left, treading over the "Little Brick Sidewalk" then up a short dihedral to the top.
Rappel 80-90 feet from one of several anchors on or close to the summit block.
