Description
One of the better yet less travelled climbs at Mickey's Beach. A "link-up" between Gidget and Motion in the Ocean. Clip the first 4 bolts of Gidget, a new 2nd bolt has recently been added to eliminate any deck potential at the beginning. After clipping the 4th bolt from the prominent undercling, move left onto Motion to a good, in-cut sidepull to reach great holds and clip the 5th bolt from under the big roof. Then link back up with Gidget to tackle the final crux sequence before the anchors. Despite being a "link-up," Ocean Monster is the most logical line given that it climbs the most natural/easiest path up the wall.
Location
Right of Hot Tuna and Sharky's Machine. Starts on Gidget Meets the Turgid Sea Monster.
Protection
6 bolts to 2 chain anchor. New 2nd bolt as of July 2019.
