spotly Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Climbed the Pioneer Route on Monkey Face last Saturday (May 6th). This was my second trad climb (first was Midway route at Castle a month ago) so leading the first two pitches was especially fun. Took a wrong turn right away but what the heck, extra climbing. We had the route to ourselves the entire time! I expected bolts on the last pitch so didn't much care for that one. Had a blast. More pics and longer report here if you're interested.

texplorer Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Nice job, I remember my first time up the monkey. A great bit of fun! With your ambitious attitude you'll be on big walls in no time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spotly Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 Thanks. It was a blast and I'm looking forward to getting down there again in the fall...if my loan for gas money comes through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
