BETA PHOTO: Garden of Gordon pretty much follows the blue rope...


Description 

Start in the chimney and move out onto a ledge between the arete and the chimney. Follow the crack to the bulge and pull over to the top. Nothing really strenuous or technical.


Location 

Climbs the right side of the arete on the east face of the Goldenfingers Wall. Start in a chimney, and move left into a crack. A pin is visible just under the horizon. There is a walk off to the southeast.


Protection 

Nuts, a pin at the top, and some medium cams to build an anchor if you're not going to walk off.

Oddly fun. The pin is a little mank, but made me smile like a goat with a can. The initial chimney and subsequent ledge system (to the right) provide quick access up and down to the golden-fingered classics to the right.
