Description

The Monument is home to the classic Fire on the Mountain, a not to be missed 3 pitch 5.10. There are also a few other routes here and probably potential for more....

Getting There

Follow the directions/trail to Chicken Head Ranch. When the trail reaches Chicken Head Ranch and the high-point of the trail, look to your left and you will see the arete of Fire on the Mountain. Drop down the gully a little and keep left. Hop up a short step at a cairn and wander up to the base.
