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

The crux is around the 5th bolt. Climb up and a little left.

This shares anchors with Tenzing's Route. 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.

Location

For now, this is the only bolted route on the bottom of the north buttress of Thorodin. It is just right of center and faces SW. This is in National Forest, not part of the state park.
