Description 

The Gold Wall is the south-facing side of the canyon where the Gold Pond is located. It's essentially everything from the short wall above the Pond down to The Prow area. There are some nice routes in here, including one of the area classics, East Of Eden (5.10b). This wall collects quite a bit of sun during the day and can be pretty warm in the summer.


Getting There 

The Gold Wall is the south-facing canyon wall where the Gold Pond is located. When heading down on the main trail out of the parking lot, the Gold Wall is off to the right.

Climber working the layback portion of this route.

T.L. Bush 5.10 PG13  AZ : Paradise Forks : The Gold Wall
Another classic 5.10, and a good one for those who don't like jamming. I thought the first 15' of crimping with no gear was the crux. Bad landing, so don't fall. After that it's a well protected romp on liebacks and jugs....[more]

Just to the left of East of Eden I did another route and called it The Serpent(12aR).
