Gorilla Cookies

FA Bill Russell et al - 1991
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Not a bad little sport climb. Sustained 5.9 and 5.10a moves on great edges. The crux is pulling the mantle at the top and clipping the chains.

Start by clipping an off route bolt just uphill of the climb. This will protect the leader from tumbling downhill if a fall occurs before the first bolt is clipped. After that its all about finding the rests and reading the moves.

Location

This climb is to the right and up from the Sermon. Follow the base uphill until you reach a couple of platforms with sport climbs. Gorilla Cookies is the higher up of the two.

Protection

Nine quickdraws - Eight for the climb and one more for the start. Rappel from chains with one 60m rope.
