BETA PHOTO: AAH! There's a gorilla on your back!

Description 

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.

Location 

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."

Protection 

Yellow to orange Aliens. Gear anchor, walk off.
