Description 

This is a great but much harder finish to Hunky Monkey. Do the first two pitches of Hunky Monkey, but instead of going up and right on the ramp for the third pitch, go LEFT and climb a short bolted headwall that goes at 11b. The fourth pitch is amazing and is rated 11d.

The 11b pitch has a crazy pull up and mantle move to get started which is followed by nice but easier climbing. The next pitch is excellent and involves steep and difficult to read face climbing.

Location 

This is a variation to Hunky Monkey. Go left after the second pitch of Hunky Monkey to an obvious, bolted wall.

Protection 

Both pitches are well bolted with good anchors.
