Monk's Chin

Description

Start left off of the highest boulder on south side of the Monk. Aid past 4 bolts to a slightly awkward transition to a couple easy free moves. Clip a bolt, then another free move gets you to a bolt ladder (about 8 bolts) through an awesome big roof. At the lip of the roof free climb up and right on hollow sounding jugs to two big eyebolts. From these it is about 25 m back to the belay platform. Fun route.

Location

South side of the Monk. See approach under the Praying Monk area page. The approach requires a 4th/easy 5th class scramble up the headwall.

Protection

Quickdraws. As of summer 2017, the route is fully equipped. A hand sized cam and a large nut or two can be used for an anchor at the base for roped soloing.
