Description

Stand start with left hand on a side pull with a thumb catch and right hand on a half pad side pull. Both slightly above waste high. Climb straight up and slightly right past a good flat jug shelf. Once you reach the lip, trend right to access better mantle out options.

The crux is the first few moves but, as always in the Wichitas, be prepared for a tough top out as it is quite slopey and if you don’t keep a cool head, can prove to be a little tricky. 

Location

Monkey Mechanics sits just to the right of the chossy crack in the middle of the wall. 

The landing is uneven with large rocks and branches. Don’t take safety lightly on this one, a poorly protected fall from the top could result in a sassy injury. 

Protection

4-5 pads and spotter
