Sandbag. Beautiful route. Goes up a thin crack for about twenty feet, traverses right ten feet, then fires out a five foot roof, ending shortly thereafter.
I was once asking Bob for thin crack recommendations, and He told me about this thing. "5.11+ BWA HA HA! THATS A GOOD THIN CRACK! BWA HA HA! ONLY ME, SUZUKI, AND PETRO HAVE EVER DONE IT, BWA HA HA! GO DO THAT ONE, BWA HA HA! Bob only ever sandbags you to get you to go do something, he never really means any harm. He just wants people to be humble and respectful.

Follow the approach for Gorilla Rock, and upon reaching the alcoves head around to the right to get to the opposite side of Gorilla rock. Should stand out based on description. As Goodman said of his ascent "As hard as any of the other hard cracks I've done at Vedauwoo."
I brought a green Alien for the top of the route and was real happy to have it. You are a good couple feet above your last piece after you pull the crux, and the top isn't easy - insecure tips, for me at least. An awesome route.
