Description Suggest change

Climb the Monkey Swing dihedral (bring a few small cams and a set of nuts to protect the dihedral) until you can traverse right to clip a bolt.  Move right across the face and then up to an anchor near the top of Monkeys and Rosaries.  The bottom of the route and the traverse are probably only 5.8, the crux is the last 20 feet of climbing.  An excellent route for the leader to belay from the top.  There's a nice ledge to stand on while your second follows the climb.  You CAN'T clean while lowering/rappelling.  If you need to, climb it 2x to get your gear back.         

If you like this route, Seneca has a Horrendous Traverse (5.7).   mountainproject.com/photo/1…
