First First Ascent

Super fun route! Sit start in small cave, work on right side to mantle overtop

Vertical cracks and seams go all the way up. Some sharp crimps are available if you don't wanna stick your hand into the dark holes. 

  The tree is behind you to the left. It's possible to stem all the way up using the tree, but that's cheating! Lean right to turn the cracks into side-pulls and don't let your butt dab the bark.

This face has ample feet and easy hands halfway up. After that, you can drift left to the chimney or make committing moves up the face. 

  Loose shelf in the chimney, check with your hands before pulling on shelves.

Big foot holds go up to sharp flakes. The route's namesake is a round flake that's sharp on all sides, halfway up.

Sit start. Begin in the cave and pull on the first big ledge. Use crimps and shallow cracks until you can get your feet on, then float up the slabby finish.

Tough start. Needs cleaning but all around good route. Probably the best route on arrowhead trail. Could probably be done as a boulder without protection but I wouldn’t recommend it. The route is just to the left of the picture on the other side of the tree. Look for the smiley in the rock and you’re at the right place. Not in the crack. 

This staircase is easy ground up a corner all the way up to a big ledge right before the topout. Minor crux between the highest step and the first ledge. 

  Good for beginner boulderers, but still a highball compared to most Alabama bouldering, so be careful. Several thin trees are in the landing area so falling not recommended.

This section of Monte Sano is accessed from the South Monte Sano Trailhead. It connects to several trails and has free, but limited parking. 

  Arrowhead Trail cuts through a 20-30 foot high rock passageway, primarily Limestone with sharp flakes and plentiful horizontal ledges and cracks. 

  While adventurous people are sure to have scrambled these rocks in the past, no documentation for them exists. If FA or route name info becomes known, please message the page author to correct them.
