Access Issue: RAIN, WET ROCK and RAPTOR CLOSURES: The sandstone around Moab is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. Also please ask and be aware of Raptor Closures in areas such as CAT WALL and RESERVOIR WALL in Indian Creek
Details
WET ROCK: Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB IN MOAB during or after rain.
RAPTOR CLOSURES: please be aware of seasonal raptor closures. They occur annually in the spring.

Description
This route is a good way to the summit of the Monitor. You top out of the 5th class at the opposite end of the butte, but the hike across the summit is really cool. Don't fall into a pothole... you might never get out. Rap chains now exist at the top of this.
FInd the corner at the far eastern end of the butte. The corner faces north so you can climb it in the afternoon on a hot day. Climb to a ledge, then out a roof on finger size pieces. The rock is a little soft at the start as water has run down the inside of the crack. Eventually it turns to hands, then wider. ITs about 100 feet to the anchor. AN easy 4th calss slab section then puts you on the summit ridge of the butte.
This is very solid rock for entrada. I think the starter moves would go free at 5.12+. The rest is 5.10+.
