This route was named after a block that was perched at the crux 2/3's of the way up the route, which we cleaned, and for the summit block that you scramble under to get to the belay, which we did not disturb, and should not be a problem. Both would have been "Too Big To Fail" without consequence.  Bank on that.  But the route is safe.

This route was obviously un-climbed when we approached it. It looked poor at first, but with some minor removal of some small flakes, one large flake, and a few bushy branches, it is actually a good clean route now.

Climb up onto the bulge to access the crack as for

Monkey Business

, then climb up and left in that same crack system to a small, shallow, left-facing corner.  A the top, go right onto the ledge, then scamper under a large perched boulder (the one that is "Too Big To Fail" and back to the belay in a corner, back 7 meters uphill from the edge.

Monkey Business

This is a short climb with good jamming.  Start under the left-most of the 3 cracks splitting the right side of the summit block that faces the road.

Step up and left into a corner/slot of sorts, then back out right into the bottom of the crack.  Jam the crack up and left through to the top.  Walk back from the edge for about 5 meters from the edge to a belay spot in a 6' tall dihedral/corner from good stoppers and a #3 Camalot, and build your anchor.

This is a good route that was, surprisingly, undone, or at least undocumented when we did it.

Start off on a small bulge in the wall just right of

Rheomorphism

, and gain a jam crack after 2 meters, as for '

Too Big To Fail

'.  As this hits a horizontal, place a 0.75" cam (yellow Alien) in the horizontal, and step out and right to a second crack near the arete, which does not run to the ground.  Jam that crack to the summit of the rock with some interesting sidepulls thrown in.  At the summit, scamper under a massive and precariously perched boulder on the summit and head back to the belay, 7 meters away, as for

Rheomorphism

(large stoppers and a #3 Camalot).
