Cold Finger 

This climb is steep, thin, and a bit runnout between bolts...but hey, that and the excellent friction is what made it so fun to lead!

Fun climb and definitely a bit runout between bolts two and three. I believe there are only four bolts, then the anchor. Good climb to do then TR Drop Zone using the anchors above it. Enjoy.

This was my first outdoor lead and it was scary as all get out. I would definitely recommend it for a warm up to lead Drop Zone, or just to screw around with!

A fun route that will make you think because you actually have to climb a ways between bolts! Nicely sustained almost to the end.

Great climb and actually very well protected. There was one or two more bolts there than were listed in the Heel-Toe guidebook.

Getting to Fall Wall is a bit dicey though for a beginner area. There are a few bouldery 4th-5th class moves required that you don't typiclly rope up for.

Great intro to slab climbing. Well bolted, with a stellar view from the top.

Let's get even more ridiculous and just rate it a 5.2!!!! You people that rated these are idiots! Yhis is at least a 5.10. Try to be a little more realistic, eh?

Not that hard, 5.7 is about right... nice short route, though.

You people that rated these are idiots! This is at least a 5.10.

Are you sure you weren't on Gunga Din or Drop Zone?

Cold Fingers is an excellent, short, moderate route, with perfect edges and 5.7 at max. It's only "run out" if you're expecting a bolt a body length.

We've taken many climbing family picnics there, and all of the kids ages 6-12 run laps on Cold Fingers with a TR. They'd rather climb it than EO friction.

Well, I bobbled the top once, so it felt a lot more runout than it was. But it still felt like 5.7. I really think you were on a different route than Cold Fingers. Cold Fingers probably sees more sends than Edward's Crack, so its grade is just about as settled as it's gonna get.

This was rated 5.7 in 1968 when I first climbed it...years later it still feels like...5.7! Possibly the most popular route in Vedauwoo?

Does anyone else that's posting here remember the infamous "beat-on" placed by Clarence Serfoss to protect the initial step up onto the slab? It was there when I first climbed the route in 1968, and it was still there 4 years later. I'd be interested to know what ever became of it.

As originally done, there were only 4 bolts on the slab. It was a bit run out to the first one...maybe 15 feet.

Only four bolts.

The beat-on (copperhead) wasn't there when I first led this in 1974.

And yes, it's only 5.7. If you haven't climbed much slab and are used to sport areas (including Beehive), it will seem harder. But with a little more slab climbing the rating is accurate.

5.7 granite slab climbing - good feet but small hand holds compared to sport climbs. "Trust your feet!"
