Supplies for The Monastery. I always like to have plenty of beer on hand while climbing. These micro brews in cans work nicely for packing in and packing out empties.

Watch out for rattlesnakes at the Monastery. This 5-6 footer was very well camoflauged!

Watch for rattlers.

A topo map to Monestary parking. Thanks to topozone.com.

The approach trail after the downclimb and ascent from the creek. As you approach the area, Outer Banks is the rock crop on the left, and straight ahead between the trees is the Vestibule entrance which heads down towards the Altar, etc.

The trailhead near the switchback that is the access trail to the Monastery.

Forest Service has closed the area to all activities until June 30 due to after fire concerns.

Better than a cairn.

The Monastery from across the valley.

Mid-June wildflowers in bloom, near the entrance to The Vestibule.

This place is alright I guess. Me in the Vestibule, with Tabula Rasa behind.

Climbing at Monastery on a late summer afternoon.

Robin beginning a climb in the Monastary.

This is the pull off to park in. The trail lies 50 yards up the road at the apex of the switchback.
