Description 

Jam, chimney, and worm your way up the straight-in wide crack. Pass a tough bulge on good fists, then inch your way up a strenuous, flared squeeze chimney (crux) to the belay ledge.

This is an fun, clean route with great jams down low and a bit of well-protected burliness up high.

Location 

Gorilla In Manilla is approximately 80 feet left (north) of Obe Won Canobe. Look for the wide splitter with a bulge 45' up, and chains at the top and just left.

Rappel with a single 60m.

Protection 

#0.4 to #4 Camalots, 2 - #3s.

2 bolts with chains at belay.
