Vehicular access beyond the gate is currently not allowed. Gold Bar is still open to foot traffic. WCC and Access Fund are actively working with the landowner and DNR to find a solution.

Description 

A mega classic fun line of technical pinching and body tension. Start sitting matched on the obvious chalked "nose" at the bottom of the scoop and move up through opposing slopey pinches in the roof above the scoop, finishing with a pull to a great edge over the lip and a bucket. Feels wickedly sandbagged at first and then when you figure it out is dead on for the grade.

Location 

On the "Cracked Egg" boulder in the topo on this site. It's the obvious chalked line starting low in the big scoop on the southwest side of the boulder.

Protection 

pads - there's a rock right under your ass you will land on.
