Description

Some might find this a bit heady. Crux is the first sequence of moves off the ground. Stays interesting for 15' +/-. Reachy moves, then gets easier. Pro is limited at the start, but gets a tad better in the middle, then run out at the top, albeit on relatively easy ground. You'll have to construct your own anchor to bring up the follower on this one. There is a large boulder with two feet that can be used as a thread-thru with a standard length cordelette. Scramble down and over to climber's right to access the anchors on Monkey Business for an easy rap to get back down.

Location

The obvious buttress left of Funky Business chimney

Protection

Gear. No anchors at top.
