Space Monkey – V5
Description:
Start low with steep compression moves; reach a slot jug; and transition into a top-out, which is easier, but perhaps more technical. The finish may feel committing, as it's over a rock platform.
Quality, with large holds.

-
snaked: Don’t miss the right hand at the top! -
adelaidekim: If you are too short and not powerful enough to do the big move to the jug from the arete, there is a crimp above the pinch and a small intermediate crimp-sloper for the right hand that you can use to bring up the right foot high to the mail slot. Check my gram for beta -
Chris: Found a crimp to bump my right hand to before going to the mail slot. -
flascha: Move left hand first, then begin the heel hook slap fest
-
kevinyu: keep the right heel low to take advantage of the double heel hook! -
Suzi Lu: Double heel hooks
-
stefanjaniszewski: Left drop toe to go to the slot.
-
jackdean: Good double heel hook move to the slot. -
courtneymiyamoto: too many heel hooks. left, right, they are all good.
-
emilycloutier: Used the crack to crimp and pull up

-
-
Skin-eater.. but an obvious classic!
-
Thrutchy first few moves, fun moves ahead

Finally!!! problem that I spent most sessions. Top out was still difficult even with the practice. -

Flowy and great holds
-
Had to pat around to find the holds at the top -
-
Almost slipped off the top. Classic problem -
-
-
super fun “jack of all trades” boulder! try eliminating the middle jug for a more flowy(albeit contrived) sequence that doesn’t really affect the grade!!
-

2023-03-29Fell off the top and missed the pad. But then it went. Think about the top and not just the bottom.

Tried hard. Got invested. Many sessions. Got really close. Got too attached. Fell from the top. Got mad at self. Regroup. Finally sent.
-
Squeezy bloc. Night sesh, 2nd go -
Thuggy start, really fun cruising type of ending, a very aesthetic line.
-
First go day two. Great movement. Top out was scary for a sport climber. Fun send train.
-
-
Love this climb -

One tricky move into a cruise. Obvious classic, so fun -

Day flash after falling off of the top 5 years ago. This was one of the first boulders I tried in Squamish and it was so much fun to finally come back to it. High quality

Day flash! Took a tumble off the top last time, so proud to have powered through the top. Took me 1.5 sessions to get the moves, then 2 more sessions to actually send.

2021-08-11Very fun. Great times
-

Took a gnarly 1 arm swing on the mailbox slot. So sick. -
Sent after climbing up the chief = successful day! Double heel hook fun times
-
Heel hooks and compression. What a fun one! -
All the heel hooks

so many tries with so many betas and so many holes in my hands! -
So fun! Highly recommended. Slopers and compression. Very good -
-
I mean it's good, but nothing super special -
Fun and gym like. First Squamish V5!

Just pure fun. Amazing line.
-
Backed off the top a couple weeks ago because I’m a chicken... stoked to block that out and send it this time around. -
Slipped off the top in the rain lol -
one of the best v5s
-
awesome!! -
Fun! finally got to do a double heel hook.
-
I think I hyped it up too much, but it was still great. -
-
-
Great problem!! -
This one deserves the Top 100 designation.
-
3 or 4 goes this year. Straightforward and powerful, but also kinda overrated?
-
Thuggy and juggy; one of the more featured Squamish boulders! Such a great line! -
Fantastic lines. Allot of fun. -

Yeah!
-
Panicked and totally botched the topout. Super super fun boulder. -
One of the best I’ve climbed at any grade.
-
Finally ticked this one! Sustained awesome moves, felt solid for the grade!

Thuggy, large moves on large holds! Right side intensive...
-
-
-
-
burly start and juggy top out - just the way I like it
-
I really enjoyed this problem, love me some double heel hooks. First Squamish V5. -
-
-
2019-06-11Cool movements -
Definetely deserve its 5stars. Ended up doing a lower version with right hand where you put your heel nornally. Make it better and harder :)
-
-
-
One sesh. Excellent movement on excellent holds! Tricky heel at the start, it blew and I ended up campusing the first move. My fav problem so far this year. -
-
-
-
Large, fun moves on good holds - try this thing out! -
A bit of a nemesis problem. Happy to finally take it down :)
-
-
fun problem
-
Finally managed to walk by when the problem was free.

Hated it the first time I sessioned it. Much better second time around. -
Thuggy. Nothing a nice heel hook can't fix. -
-
2018-07-29 -

My favorite Squamish boulder so far (probably because it felt like a Hueco climb). Kwang employed all his fancy hold spraying/drying/brushing/cooling techniques and Will patiently spotted as I fell off the last move over and over (micro beta: crimp not pinch!)
-
second go. physical gym moves, a very involved right heel hook, and good holds
-
-
-
-
-
-
Soft but fun!
-
Only took me 25 tries to figure out the double heel hooks doesn't work for me.
-
-
Fun :) double heel hook start beta was clutch for saving energy for the big ending moves. -

This was such a fight for me because it is overhanging and requires a couple powerful moves. -
2017-07-22 -
Amazing gym problem. Used the wrong heel on the flash oops! Soooooo fun! -

Felt a little easy for me at V5, but not by much.

Gym-moves: best moves! -

All right. Overrrated IMO
-
A nicely sculpted feature. Movement was a bit boring by Squamish standards. Was about to derp and topout right instead of left.
-
2016-08-21 -

-
-
So burly and so fun.

-
Brilliant. Superb in every sense. -
-
-
-
Rad moves.
-
2016-05-13Burly. Had some left shoulder commitment issues, but eventually sucked it up. -
-
-
-
Great non-Squamish problem that finishes in Squamish style -
Fun. I was super sloppy on it today though
-
Great climb! Fun movement with a committing top out.

2013-06-23
-

Awesome. If you have strength and good heels you'll get it -
Second try. Fell the first time on the top out. Got it easy the second time.
