Description
This is undeniably one of the best boulder problems in Vedauwoo, and I think one of the best anywhere. It's a perfect, right-leaning splitter that goes from stacks to fingertips with a nice tricky jug up top. The rock is really fine grained, some of the best granite at Vedauwoo. It also has a V6 variation, The Bush Eater, put up by Jeremy Medley, that starts on the right on a hand jam. You reach up to the big obvious patina flake and move left into the crack - very cool. Both versions move really neat, and both are must do problems.
Location
Park as for Fingorilla. Walk down the road for a couple hundred feet and head up to the boulders on the left. It's on one of the first boulders and faces east.
