Climbers have access up to the roped fence. Owners do not want climbers going down to the river. There is also livestock that roams the forest. Please keep your dogs under control. Boulders on east side of river are off limits.
Large granite boulders scattered throughout a forest below a slide area. Around 130 problems ranging from VB to V11. This guide will only cover 20-30 problems at the Goldfinger trailhead and the Road Rage Boulders, along with some select problems throughout the forest.
Getting There
Get off at the Hunter Creek exit from HWY 1 east and west. Make a right onto Laidlaw and drive for 30 sec. to the Lorenzetta FSR on your left. You can either park at the bottom or at the top of the first hill. The trailhead is about 50m up the road just across from the Road Rage Boulders.

Theres a fun chimney up behind hillside strangler near some super over hung climb which is hard, the chimney is exciting and easy, mantle up a lodged torso sized boulder (trust it) then chimney up spread eagle over the boulder, !Dont fall! , 5.4 difficulty with a fun descent. the name Black Beard seemed suitable if there isnt another already. 5 star Classic.
