Description
This is a really great pitch that follows the tallest gold streak on the left side of the wall. The route starts with an easy slab, a few cruxes through the beginning of the headwall, then hang on for the steep pocketfest to the anchors. The pump sticks with you 'til the end.
Location
This climbs the long, gold streak left of
Eldorado.
Protection
Bolts to lowering anchors. This route is a full 100'. Use caution when lowering with a 60m rope.

[Hide Photo] Even after a healthy monsoon event, this route will stay mostly dry except for the very bottom.
