Description:
Main section of the monolith on the right most section on the high part. This starts obvious, and has a huge obvious pocket near the 2nd bolt. Very good route. Rap chains at the top. 50 meters will rap it. VALGRL's edits: correct name of route

Ascent Note
Easiest way to the top, but a long way down if you miss the 2nd bolt.
