Please be aware of the hefty fines associated with failure to observe these regulations.
Description
Sock Monster is a nice, house-sided boulder with a fun moderate and a few more potential climbs.
Getting There
Follow directions to the Spire Boulder at the bottom right of the talus. When facing the Spire walk directly left into the corridor. Walk up the log onto the platform, and Sock Monster will be right in front of you. It is 100 feet from the spire.
