mikedoyleca earns some extra style points for sending East Face 5.13d-R. Usually people fix the route, but Mike did it placing the gear and skipped all the bolts. Pretty bold to say the least especially since the rock isn’t the most solid. Via Mike: Yesterday, after flying back from Vegas and landing at 3pm, I made quick plans to hike to the monkey with Ian Caldwell (ian.caldwell.514). I wasn't sure how I would feel after not climbing for a few days, then the flight etc... When we got back there the conditions were great; cool and breezy. I decided to warm up on 'The East Face'', just to see how it would feel. At the first anchor I felt decent but not great. I shook out for a bit trying to decide if it was worth losing skin in the upper part. Finally I figured I might as well go for it. The crux right above the first anchor felt good but after the long runout pictured here I was a little flash pumped. I jammed in a good metoliusclimbing master cam, skipped the bolts, finagled some gear...
