Description
Fun traversing climb through great knobs, crossing a few routes above a steeply overhanging face below. Not good for beginners due to the pendulum potential. A really fun way to get to the summit boulder problem, this route follows the path of least resistance up the east face. Make sure to boulder up and check out the summit register!
This route starts up what was one of the first roped climbs to top out on the Monolith. That route, "East Face," was done with a few pitons (where?).
