Description Suggest change

Premeditated is described as being one of the harder lines at the Monument. It follows a leftward leaning crack, up and left under a large roof system, on the left side of the Balconies formation. P1 can go two ways, either face climb up past a bolt until you get to the crack, or start aiding from the ground, in the crack. Both pitches end at bolted anchors. P1 is the only pitch that has any bolts for protection, two I believe. On P2, a tension traverse is required (to the left), to get into the prominent crack system under the large obvious left-ward slanting roof.

Location Suggest change

Far left side of the Balconies. Descent is via rappel. Apparently this route ends after two pitches, but rumor has it another pitch exists.

Protection Suggest change

Simple aid rack will suffice. Double set of cams, off-set stoppers, and a couple of beaks were all I used. Anchors have recently been replaced, but as with all bolts at the Monument, use caution.
