BH on FA of Bands of Gold.


Description 

This is the climb immediately right of F**k You. Look for a dihedral with very closely spaced bolts. Climb the dihedral to a huge ledge. The closeness of the bolts suggest that it is intended to climb closer to the arete, but the corner is right there.

From the ledge, wander up a loose, vegetated ledge to a line of bolts on the upper headwall. One could also avoid the ledge traverse by continuing straight up on the excellent upper part of F**k You. Make a sketchy move to clip the first bolt on the headwall, and follow the line of bolts to the top.


Protection 

12 or so bolts to a 2 bolt anchor
