Description

An alternative finish to Ten Karat Gold and is reported in the book to be "better protected"...kinda true.
Improbable slab climbing that beckons for faith in your rubber.
Instead of heading right on 10k go straight up past two bolts to the top. I went slightly left from the anchor to get over to the first bolt. After the second bolt the climbing gets easy but you will be well run out.

Location

Start on Ten Karat Gold, climb a short right facing corner to a bolted anchor, then the 5.9R pitch of 10k to another bolted anchor. White Line Fever is straight up from there.

Protection

2 bolts but you need a few pieces for the finish anchor, BD .3s will work.
