Access Issue: State Park - Fee Required. Details

Golden Gate Canyon is a State Park and a $10 (2021) fee is required for entrance. Cash/Check only accepted; Self serve kiosks exist throughout the park. Annual passes can be purchased for $60.

Description

This climb goes up good quality rock with the exception of a few sort of still mossy cracks. The crux is halfway up in the steepest section and is easy to protect (you could avoid this by going left, but then you'll miss out on the fun). If you continue up to Zephyr Ledge, you'll need a 70m rope to get down.

Location

This route is right of center on the north buttress of Thorodin and faces SW. This is in National Forest, not part of the state park.

The start is 20 feet left of the bolted 5.9.

Rap, lower, or continue up and to the right past a bolt and to the rap anchors and other routes on Zephyr Ledge. Rapping off Zephyr Ledge requires a 70m rope!
