Description

This route is on the Cynical Pinnacle. It starts below the obvious line of Hand Job which leads to the top of the Pinnacle in 4 pitches.

If hiking up from the road towards the start of

Center Route

and

Wunsch's

, look for the obvious line of Monkey's in the Forrest, it has a small tree with slings on it, and contnue uphill to the next crack. It looks obvious and good from the ground.

Start off with steep hand jams which lead to the crux where the crack widens a bit. Move right above the crux into a different crack and follow this (5.8+ hands) to the walk off ledge.

Walk off to the left making some rather exposed scrambling moves.

Protection

Pro up to #3 Camalot, double #2 and #3.
