Ascents in Monkey Rock

good clean climb, beautiful area

That's a bit of a warm up

Lovely on top rope would be a fucked up onsight

Pretty fun little route with some difficult sections

We converted this into something a bit more fun by traversing to the next route on the right at the top (twice as long), making a second pitch out of that, and then a third pitch to scramble to the top!

Granite slab: the ultimate ego crusher.

Hard move between 2nd and 3rd otherwise really enjoyable techie climbing.

Clipped second bolt high. Wouldn't commit to left foot under undercling.

Watching old mate do it first definitely saved me some trouble. Very fun.

Lead ascent. Beginning slab was a bit tricky. Highlight was the excellent moves on the arete.

Fun climb, there are three distinct sections each quite enjoyable.

Pretty fun moves!!

This is a sensational chimney with amazing holds on the cleft when you start reaching it. Well protected with two carrots (hangers required), and a beautiful line! The start is the hardest, when it's almost off-width, pretty small to squeeze your body inside... Not sure about grade, anything between 14 and 16 maybe?

Scary but really cool

First time I had the courage to lead the climb. Great introduction to off width climbing. There is one carrot on the flake side, then another on the main bolder half way up. Anchor is one carrot and one ring bolt.

Some more slabby fun, now needing some grip in your shoes!
