Description
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.
