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!!

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!!

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.

Can't beat this quality of a route for the grade. The aid section is no joke. It's a rush to lead the pitch out of the mouth.
