Ape and Essence

Description

The crux on this route is close to the start, where the climber must move right after climbing a thin vertical crack. It's certainly harder for shorter climbers. Higher up, you can exit right out of the second overhang to join RMC, or continue up the corner to join Ape Call and use it bolted anchor. A solid Gunks 5.9.

Location

Left facing corner 10 ft left of RMC, outside a large chimney.

Protection

It's possible to TR from the pine at the end of P1 of RMC. The crux seemed like it would be hard to protect if leading.
