Description:

P1: go up Simians about twenty feet and pull roof on right using big holds. Continue right until a three bolt anchor. Fun 5.9 pitch P2: awesome. Mostly bolts with a few gear placements. Crux is a sweet sloper match move after the second bolt. Slab up top has a delicate 5.10 move. One bolt for anchor; a gold camalot and an orange alien back it up nicely. Rap off of chains on top of Jailhouse Monkeys to anchors on the first pitch of the Watch Crystal and then from there a 100 foot rope stretcher to the ground (it will make it).
