Touch Monkey

Touch Monkey is another fun little sport climb in the complex Dinosaur Mountain area. This route ascends inviting huecos up a slightly bulging face in the Court, an alcove on the S side of Der Zerkle, a short way past Square Rock. From NCAR, hike up the Mallory Cave Trail until this route is visible on your right.

Power up a fun, slightly overhanging wall with huecos past 3 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor. There is one slightly longer reach mixed in here. Rossiter's guide mentioned a fixed wire that I did not find

. Just to the right of this route is another slightly easier, bolted route,

Knot Carrot

.

Originally this was protected with 3 protection bolts and a two bolt anchor. Years later it was retrobolted to have 5 protection bolts in addition to the two bolt anchor now with Climb Tech anchor hooks.
