Our warm-up to get to Monkey Space. Fun, moderate climbing on the Monkey's west side.

5 out of 5 stars gordy onsights second pitch of west face variation5.8Monkey Face

Way cool,fun climbing,with great gear placements.Then I jugged the free hanging rope to the mouth of the monkey,sweet!The coolest perspective.We finished the climb out of panic point,(the mouth)with the long traverse around the head,instead of just going straight up.This keeps you out ,fully exposed for longer ,which makes for a way more pleasurable experience. If you like exposure that is.Classic!

3 out of 5 stars Interesting

Seconded one of the variations. We seemed to get the X version. Glad that I wasnt leading. Easy climbing, just pro every 45 feet. Linked the two pitches to the notch with a 70 m.

5 out of 5 stars WOW!

Super fun, in spite of the aid pitch! Definitely recommend the wild long variation from panic point to the top of the monkey's head, vs. straight up to the nose!!

5 out of 5 stars Bivied on the Monkey's Head

Started late in the day after most parties were bailing or finished. I led the 1st pitch, the aid pitch, and the final easy pitch to the top. Brought up sleeping bags and camped out on top! The nose would've been better, but there's a big rat living there!!

4 out of 5 stars Monkey Face

Loved this climb, led the 1st pitch and the last one out of the cave. We French aided and that was fun too...mighty good workout. The view at the top was incredible.
