Description 

If you've got time for one more route with southern exposure this may be a good bet. Route follows obvious bolt line to summit and provides fun and positive holds. Vertical but not steep and gets that "one more" route in. Much better than its sister "Dr. Know" which is found to the left.


Location 

Middle route on south face of Sunnyside sandwiched between "Dr.Know - .10b" and "Walk in the Park - .8" SCSG 3rd edition route 825


Protection 

5 bolts to chain anchor

Route described as 10a in guidebook. Route seems to be a bit more difficult than its counterpart "Dr. Know" to the left but much better. I say more like 10b and throw in a star. If you're looking for a few good routes at the end of the day close to the car this and "chick flakey" may be a good choice.

Jack recently added a bolt to the start of this route. Previously this route and the one to the left shared the same start. But with all the traffic these routes see Jack felt a seperate start was appropriate.

I don't know what the guide says, however Gold finger is one grade harder than Dr Know to the left and is a better route.

Much better than Dr. Know. My guidebook rates it harder, but it's straightforward unlike the awkward Dr. Know.
