Description
A fine way to shorten the West Face Variation route, via a flaring crack with tricky hand jams in the back. Can finish up on the Pioneer route to give maybe the best easy-ish way up the Monkey face.

P1: Same as West Face Variation - 5.7/8 with tricky initial move.
P2: 5.8 - Climb up and left to dihedral crack that leads straight up to the finish of West Face Variation P3.

Can then continue onto the aid pitch of the Pioneer Route to summit the monkey.
