Funky Business ("Monkey Business" chimney variation)

FA unknown
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Begin climbing in the obvious chimney immediately right of "Banana Cake" buttress. Transition to the right at the lovely little tree adorning the ledge to the right and just below the "roof" (don't hit your head!). If it makes you feel better, you can girth hitch a sling to the tree, although, if you made it this far without any gear, I doubt you'll feel the need. Squeeze through the gap formed by the roof and the main wall for a couple three feet. (Using the tree is fair game). After clearing the gap/tree obstacle you will join the upper section of the "new" Monkey Business. There's a single bolt between here and the anchor but not much else. The climbing is reasonably easy, though.

Location

The large chimney immediately to the right of "Banana Cake" buttress.

Protection

Not much... A sling for the tree (be gentle...) and a draw for the bolt.
