Description
A beautiful new route on the right side of Gold Coast that has everything from slab to face to a roof encounter with a a heel hook boulder. This route really has it all. Similar to the gift at long wall.
Protection
8 bolts plus anchor
Location
Uphill and about 100' right of the huge Golden Nugget boulder, one route right of Explanatory Gap
Cincinnati, OH
Salt Lake City, UT
It's only minorly marred by a little bit of dirty/brittle rock on top after the roof pull, and some rake-y rope lowering into a groove off the anchor. It's hard to keep your rope strands from rubbing against each other in that groove. Nov 4, 2019

The bolts are really well-placed, especially at the roof, so don't hesitate to hop on it. As others have said, mentally engaging movement throughout on really aesthetic rock. Nov 20, 2023
