Description

This short but fun trad line with a sporty feel is down at the far right end of the Monitor Rock summit dome. This line begins with flowing climbing up a pocketed slab with thin feet and then transitions to sloping jugs and a steepening crack. The route is capped off by a small, gray, blocky roof that is pulled off good crimps. Depending on a climber's style and strengths, the crux could be at the bottom or the top. It is a really fun, little line with great intuitive moment. If it were taller, it would be a 4 star classic. Also, this is the third easiest way to access the top of the dome  (there are a couple 7/7+ cracks that aren't yet listed on MP) and the long, wandery Monitor summit pitch. It looks way better than either of the two alternatives!
