Exciting climb with a definite crux move coming after the the hand traverse that gets you up and to the arete.

Monster

Monstrosity

Stoned Ogre

Bolts take you up to and around the right side of the Ogre's head. A strenuous undercling crux leads to the technical upper face.

A yawning chimney that gets quite exciting as it widens at the top.

Squeeze in the dungeon, place a cam or 2 so you can traverse out the hanging face to a bolt on the arete. Follow the arete fins past bolts to top. A bit continuous until the 3rd bolt.

Squeeze into the dungeon and follow it to a large spiked block, belay.

The bridge of Kazad-dum: Follow 2 bolts out to the Balrog block and battle past it to the escape hole.

Variations: Hobbit Hole Escape or Shelob's Lair

If you don't want to fight the Balrog there are 2 easier escapes from the dungeon making the whole thing an adventurous dark scramble of low 5th class.

This is a new variant of Stoned Ogre.  Bolts lead to a layback around the left side of the Ogre's head. The layback crack takes medium cams to 4" with a bolt protecting a barndoor crux at the top.

Start up In Dungeons Deep. If you couldn't  stick clip the 1st bolt, then clip a piton to the left with a long sling. This provides some reassurance as you start the overhanging hand traverse on white buckets to the 1st bolts, a hard to see great handhold, then just vertically to meet the crux of Igor Hero-Smasher and up the arete to the top. Endurance.

Stick clip the bolt. Climb the overhanging wide crack feature, making this a direct start to Monster. Strenuous.
