Fools Gold


The Rub 

On the small slab/buttress to the right of The Stone. Work up the easy first half to the crystal studded mini headwall, starting where ever looks good (roof is fun). Get the last good gear up high, and then get to pinching and stemming on cool crystals over the bulge. Clip smartly at the pin and pan more crystals to the top. Exciting! (you can protect the exit).


The Pro 

Gear, 1 fixed pin, furgy spider stick

The pin is pretty good but I wouldn't go lobbing off on it.

Rap from chains.

Homework, legwork, and E-work revealed no previous KNOWN action here. If it's yer masterpiece..by all means...pipe up. The removable holds would imply it had not been climbed. Who knows. Who cares. Sent by pioneers or space monkey explorers...loong ago. 3rd class of course. Or maybe a fun little line right under our noses all this time?
