Access Issue: Agreement in place at Gold Wall. Respect signs and private property owners near the crags. Details

Update: April, 16 2021.

Gold Wall (which is privately owned) is open to climbing.
However climbers must follow the owners rules!

Rules for climbing at Gold Wall:
-No yelling/loud noises
-No fires of any kind
-No camping
-No trash/bathroom
-No publishing routes in books or online (ie Don't post on Mountain Project or other online sites)
-No disclosing exact location in books/online

The land owners continue to have full rights over the Gold Wall and the right to close access at any time if activities occur that make them uncomfortable. We are very thankful to the land owners who recognize the importance of Gold Wall to the climbing community and generously have allowed rock climbing to occur on their property.

Access Fund is working with Tuolumne County, Tuolumne County Land Trust, private landowners and the US Bureau of Reclamation to come up with a solution to the Shell Rd parking issue. Please be mindful of where you park when going to Table Mountain, do not block private driveways or vehicle access on Shell Rd and remember this area is a high fire danger zone so use abundance of caution!
It is up to us as a climbing community to ensure the owner’s rules are upheld so please if you see something say something!!

Description

Another contrived route, but still fun!

Go up the thin crack to the right of Go With The Flow, then cut back left to GWTF around 90% of the way up using some horizontal edges. One could probably continue straight up and not bail out left, but it looks real hard.

If you stay mostly off the arete to your right it felt 10a/b to me. My partner used the arete more heavily and said it made it more 5.9.

Protection

Lots of thin stuff.

C3s, RPs, and small mastercams would do it

Go up the thinner center right crack

The wild "V3" direct finish! Someone should throw 1 bolt on here and call it 5.11d/12a

It's called "Mine and Yours." And assuming that you're talking about the arete to the right up near the top, that's part of the climb, at least as it was originally done (line of least resistance and all). It also exits left almost at the very top as you've described.

I think the route is pretty well documented on page 44 of the 2013 guidebook (where it's given 5.9 * - which is exactly consistent with your comments, thereby confirming that yes, great minds do think alike). Jun 1, 2019

Did the route on TR today staying true to the line and not bailing left. This leads you to an unprotectable orange stembox just below the anchors that I would call V3. Took a single hang while sussing out the moves and then sent. Boulder problem characterized by some intense stemming to a 2 finger crimp; all jugs after that.

Could be a reasonable line with a single bolt somewhere in the orange section. May 8, 2021
