Description
The Skunk Ape is an under-appreciated species of the Dinanthropoides genus. As children, we would hear the Skunk Apes frolicking in the thick New England timber, breeding fear, anticipation, and excitement in all those who heard their calls. Confirmed sightings were rare...but never disputed.
Like the flesh-and-bones Skunk Ape, the climb is a bona fide 5.9+. Not some washed out overrated Bigfoot horseshit.
Please be mindful of the belay, as it is delicate soil and will not last if humans trounce it like a cheap throw rug.
Location
Find Heavy Metal -- check. Identify one of the the obvious hard lines near the roof (Goodnight Gorilla and Darkness are easy to identify) -- check. Count over to the left from there. MP is complete and well-documented in this zone.
Protection
Snapdragons, half a baker's dozen should cover you.
