Sit start with hands at the bottom of the diagonally trending flake that is to the left of Monarch Crack. Rather than following the flake to the crack, climb straight up the slab on decent face holds. Height is definitely a factor, and good reach could make this feel a bit easier.

Monarch Crack

This a traverse along a thin, horizontal crack that runs across the right side of the Butterfly Wall. Sit start with your hands on good holds just to the right of the obvious, vertical crack in the middle of the face. Traverse right along the crack as far as possible before topping out with jugs on the far right side of the wall.

Sit start on two crimps to the right of the vertical crack (the same start as The Butterfly Effect). Traverse right to a jug, then go straight up using some small and not-so-good hand holds.

Sit start the obvious, vertical crack in the middle of the Butterfly Wall. Climb straight up using the crack and some of the immediately surrounding face holds. Sticking to just the crack could bump up the difficulty a little. Top out right to avoid the tree growing at the top of the wall.

The Butterfly Wall is a fairly large rock face in the Alcove Area of Hammond Pond. It is approximately 15 feet long and 12 feet tall, with a large, vertical crack running up the middle. Most of the wall has few features, but there are a few easy/moderate climbs possible on the face. The landing is fairly sloped, but attentive spotting negates the issue.
