Description:
To the left of Monkey Mayhem up the arete, great view of the Rock Pool. Start is 20ft. below and left of Oak tree ledge...on top of a boulder. Clip 2 bolts(10b) then use runner on 3rd(or skip for unwanted drag) then over roof. Up arete to chains...rock can be loose. Belay the follower from ledge at base of Monkey Mayhem for less rope drag. F.A. Mar '06

Fun route, sucks to clean
Great photo op at the overhang. Bottom two bolts are a little tricky, but 5.10b seems a little soft. Probably a hard 9 or 10a??
Cleaning it sucks for those who rap down as the rope piles on a ledge making it hard to tell when you've got enough to get down, use a rope with a multicolor weave if possible so you can see your in the middle.
Fun times!

Second ascent by:
long -- easil the best climb at Malibu Creek
A little bit of everything (minus a crack, and you could get that in too if you have trad gear and just move 4 feet to the right). Incredibly well protected. You start on this great slightly overhung face to a hueco ledge that required an overhead heel hook (my favorite move, ever)... and then easy (but very exposed) climb stright up the arete up to the anchor. Highly recommended.

Real nice climb...watch for tree branch on your way down, took a nasty wack to the back.

Hard then Easy
Didnt know the rating of the route when I did it. Thought it was 5.10b/c and lo and behold it is a 5.10b. First 2 bolts is the hardest. The big overhang after the cave/ledge is tough but not too bad. Plenty to use to pull yourself up and over. If you want to avoid the big cave, you can go to the right of the overhang without much trouble but with half the fun. Top half is a cakewalk. Some serious loose rocks after the cave.
Update: April 11. Lead it and got the Red Point. First couple of moves arent too bad once you know the sequence. Above the cave, the route follows the arete very closely. I stayed 3-4 ft to the right of the bolts on my way up the arete.
