This is great! I'm climbing MF next saturday. Two questions- how long was the approach via mountain bike? How long did it take to climb the monkey? Congrats and thanks

Heck yeah! MTB approach is probably 20-30 minutes tops and faster on the way out. We got to the park around 1 and topped out right after sunset in late November (sun down ~4:30 pm) soooo 3 hours to climb it I'd guess? We were moving fairly quickly other than me breaking holds on the 11b section - choose wisely since that's not climbed much! Enjoy the Monkey!

traipsingabout thanks so much! We’re doing the pioneers route. Last question, which approach trail did you take using the mtn bikes?

fitdoc Hmmm, not sure on time for Pioneer route. MTB approach is best ridden CW on the trail along the river and then up Misery Ridge. Drop the bikes at the base and rip it!

@@dakotapdx Climbed MF on sunday! Fulfilled a months' long goal. The bolt ladder was no joke and easily the most challenging part of the climb for me. I didnt have any issues with 'panic point' or the free rappel. Thanks for your video and answering questions!

We used twins for the two pitches of trad that tie into the Monkey Space sport sections. My buddy's call since he led those first two pitches.

I'm the buddy - the twins were for the rap off the top. That way you can basically go all the way to the ground in one rap (one short rap to the anchor on the big block then all the way to the walk off).
