Description 

This is a must do in the canyon! Put your crimp skills to the test. The crux is after the 2nd bolt. Little run between 3rd and 4th bolt but mellow for sure. Good mantle at the top.


Location 

Located at Goldfinger Wall. It's the bolted line to the right of Goldfingers. Same start as Goldfingers but head right...


Protection 

Bring webbing for the anchor(Tree) and there are 4 bolts to clip.

Whoa, I'm glad someone else thought this was 5.10+. Slabby crimp skittles save the day. I've always thought goldfinger's crux was getting to the crack; that only gets the ball rolling here. Bolt number three is a manky ferguson buttonhead that inspired me to climb like a Gabe in some movie. A tricky lead let-alone solo.

First Ascent: Gary Olsen Free solo early 80's.

The bolts came later from an unknowing party.

With Gary's blessing all the bolts have been replaced on this recently with nice stainless.
