Description Suggest change

Start hanging with matched hands from a textured jug on the north end of Thelonious Monk. This problem starts down the slope.

Match hands and work right to a jug. Big Dynamic, Fist Jam, Foot Jam, Knee Bar whatever. Turn the corner and figure out a sequence to get up onto the shelf. Scum, twerk, stem. Get up into that roost.

Yellow line in topo.

Location Suggest change

Park at LMS and head down to the crag. Follow the wall to the south for 270 yds and pass a talus slope with vines. Continue and notice the rock size increasing and features showing up. Follow the animal trails to a cave overhang and a ramp that leads to Thelonious Monk in 5’ and then 10’ south of that rock you will see The Jazz Workshop founder, Charles Mingus.

A more direct approach is to park at LMS and walk downhill to where the next guardrail starts. Count 7 posts and jump the rail. There should be a drainage culvert there. Scramble downhill and you should end up in the viney talus slope or just south of it. Continue south a few minutes and you will find The Jazz Workshop.

On either approach if you look east to the lake you will see a cove with a sandbar extending from its northern shore. If that northern shore is south of you, you are north of Mingus. If it is north of you you are south of Mingus. If it is directly even with you and mount scott you’re right there.

——-

To Thelonious Monk from Mingus: walk 10’ north. To get to Blue Hawk and the other roof problems go north 50’ down a conspicuous slab. Look west about 2’.

Protection Suggest change

2 pads and spotter. Crux area has a wig splitter if you take a weird fall.
