Per Dakota Millard: the access issue suggestion states to park before Clyde Campground. The recommended approach that does not cross private property starts at Clyde Campground's parking. 100% do not approach from the hairpin where the area is most visible. Approaching from the hairpin directly crosses private property.
Description
Fall From Grace is a king line on the Monk and the hardest known climb at Cathedral Park. It climbs a huge, splitter crack with a lot of hand sizes but spots of fingers and a spot of offwidth. A bouldery crux comes low at an old knifeblade piton that can be backed up with gear below it. Another off fingers crux waits higher.
Ascend the crack to the ledge just before the summit block. Use the anchors out right of the crack if needed about 3/4 of the way up.
