John Dos Passos had the habit of omitting hypens froms his words - monkeywalk is not as much a compound word as it is his rough communication of an idea. Thus, you can read that as 'monkey-walk' - it is probably not a specific, proper name for something, but instead a description of what is a dangerous or hard-to-walk place (owing to monkeys and their incredible dexterity i.e. walking on vines)
