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

Start the route using cracks and ledges on the small face below and right of a flake (5.7). Reach the flake, and ascend over the flake until you stand atop it (5.6). A shallow crack system will provide the next obstacle. Climb directly up it (5.8+), or traverse drastically to the right, and climb up there (5.8). Reach a large ledge. Above you stands a threatening bulge. Climb the left side of it (5.9/10) or abandon Men in Masks, and follow the ledge to the right side of the bulge, where you can finish on Mortality Rate (5.6), before doing the short traverse to the anchor. This route is 5.8 if Mortality Rate is used to finish it.

Location

Find an obvious, deep crack bifurcating the face to the north of a notch between a huge boulder and the wall. This route starts several feet to the left of the obvious crack.

Protection

A standard rack up to #3s with a few smaller cams and nuts will suffice for all routes on Quarantine Wall, the smaller subdivision of Dude’s Throne that contains Social Distancing and those to its right. A fixed nut marks the top of their route.
