Description

Tombstone stands out and resembles a very large tombstone. It is the farthest area up the trail on the west side of Monitor, just a little higher up and left of the Endless Wall. There are only two routes sharing the same anchor. Both routes have bolts but some additional gear could be nice. A 70 meter rope is what I had, you might be able to reach the ground with a 60m rope, but it will be close.

L->R:

A. Beggar's Tomb, 10, 1p, 90', gear.
B. Meanderthal, 10-, 1p, 90', gear.

Getting There

Hike up and past the Endless Wall. It really pops out and faces more southwest than the rest of Monitor. It is also separated from the rest of the wall by a large chimney. It is 15 minutes from the highway.
