Description

Climb unprotected face up to a bolt, make the crux moves and then follow the left-slanting crack system to anchors atop Golden Spike. An alternate (and better) start is to climb the first portion of High Noon and then continue into the crack.

Originally done with RP's at the crux a bolt was added later by unknown parties to "tame" the crux.

Location

Just left of Golden Poodle.

Protection

bolt, gear to 2", chain anchors (shared w/Golden Spike)
