Description Climb the twin, right-leaning cracks on the left side of the Post Office Wall. This is one sweet trad pitch, thought provoking and pumpy the whole way. One of the earlier routes put up at Thunder, this is an area classic.
Location East wall of the WASP Canyon, left side near the back of the canyon. This wall is known as the Post Office. Start appx. 20' right of the bolted route Heavy Water.
Protection Standard rack, 2 bolt anchor.

| What is the route maybe three routes to the right of Powder Monkey? There are some nice vertical cracks (BD #0.5~0.75 size) to a single bolt crux (maybe easy twelve) to a cool finger and hand crack? |
