Monday Bloody Monday stands as a concentrated burst of climbing intensity perched on the rugged faces of Cerro Grande in Honduras. Its 35-foot vertical wall holds a gritty challenge beneath a modest height, demanding sharp technique on deceptively small holds. From the first bolt, the route asks climbers to engage with focused precision, controlling balance as the rock pinches and edges shape the ascent. Approaching the final moves, the path splits: veering left leads to a distinctly harder sequence that tests both finger strength and footwork, raising the stakes in this short but demanding climb.

This sport climb, protected only by a set of bolts and a solid anchor, rewards those who appreciate a brief, intense push rather than long endurance. The rock around Cerro Grande carries a dry texture that holds chalk marks, hinting at previous ascents but offering no forgiveness for sloppy foot placements. A single pitch, its brevity is its strength—perfect for climbers seeking to sharpen power moves or add a challenging pitch to a day of exploring Honduran crags.

The route’s solitude is matched by the imposing way the crag faces the sun during the late afternoon, warming the stone and sharpening the shadows around each hold. Climbers will want to time their ascent for early morning or late afternoon to avoid the peak sun that can sizzle the face and sap energy. The approach is straightforward but involves a brief hike through rough forest terrain, where humidity clings to the air and forest sounds remind you that nature remains alive and watchful here.

Given the protected bolts, gear preparation is straightforward, but climbers should bring a lightweight rack to supplement opportunities for any subtler placements or backup protection above the anchors. Awareness of the route's technical crux near the end, especially on the left finish line, will make a difference in pacing, as an unprepared attempt can quickly lead to pump and frustration. Expect a route that rewards calculated effort rather than brute force.

Monday Bloody Monday is not the crag for lengthy multi-pitch adventure but is ideal for climbers who want a clean, focused encounter with vertical rock—where every hold matters and the final moves demand the climber's full attention. Whether a stepping stone in a larger Honduran climbing itinerary or a stand-alone goal, this route offers a memorable slice of sport climbing on a less-traveled face of Central America.
