"Tough route. GPS being annoying again today, paused twice on me which is why you see the weird straight lines , so add more miles and elevation if you plan for this route. Whiskey is nice and easy, pretty obvious where to go at all times. I went back the way I came although it looks like the other side(going into the canyon) would have gone when I got a better look at it from deeper in the canyon. Hidden requires some route finding , I believe I went up too early and was doing some side hilling. Finally found a rock stack which led me right up to hidden. Only snow I encountered was in the saddle between hidden and monument. Looks like you can go all the way around but i just climbed the face up to get to the summit of monument(pictured) . Then dropping off monument into the gully that leads to burlap buttress is extremely brushy and slow moving . Probably the hardest part of the day. Saw a flock of 52ers out there coming down burlap buttress while I was going up. The buttress requires a bit of route finding , need to just stay to the right and an exit to the summit will appear . Very fun and tough route. " — joshortman • Jan 13, 2023
"5.12.19. Mothers Day Monument Peak & Murphy’s Rock w/Harlan and the gang. Mountain Masters! Very adventurous route with exciting class 3 climbs. I feel like I gained a lot of good experience today.
Also, I’m on day 2 of the Whole30 (sugar and crappy food detox). I felt good but after the summits and on the climb back to the Limestone ridge, I felt like I was going to pass out from the heat and from my body purging the sugar dragon. I felt very weak on that section but all ended well.
Great Day!" — paula.raimondi • May 12, 2019
"Took a great route up the north fork of Black Velvet Canyon to Veterans Peak, then climbed up to Monument Peak, then rappelled down a 50 foot wall before heading up to Hidden Peak. It was a great day, but the wind was ridiculously harsh." — Kevin • May 26, 2012
