Description

Tired of the lines on Spider Walk, a bit intimidated of Lickety Split, don't want to die on Piss On It, can't find the start to Cape Canaveral, maybe Rink-Kudo is to funky, well Wish Monster might be your ticket for adventure.  A surprisingly nice route that has just the right amount dirty and loose, crimpy and crispy to keep the seasoned Superstition climber perky.  An added bonus to the climb is it leads to a wonderful cirque of towers and monster troughs that one could spend the day exploring.

Pitch one and two can be combined and is probably wise to consider to avoid falling stones landing on your belayers head.  A long pitch to a comfortable notch with two bolts.  Expect some crumbly stone and some nice stone the higher you climb.

Pitch three heads straight up to the roof, avoiding the loose blocks.  Contemplate the thin traverse out left, under the roof with O.K. gear and minimal feet.  Smile directly down at your belayer and continue to another two bolt anchor.

Take note of the two spires to the west, both can be easily climbed.  Totgoblin will be the smallest, middle spire below and can be accessed from Mish Monster or Grandfather Hobgoblin.

Location

The start of pitch one is less than 30 feet from the beginning of Grandfather Hobgoblin.  It begins with an easy ramp system in a left facing corner.

Protection

Cams and nuts. Nothing bigger than a #4
