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
Straight-in tips and finger crack with a few features to keep it reasonable. At the top of the crack step right, pass a very optional bolt, and pull a steep roof on good holds. Clip another bolt and continue traversing right to the anchor shared with Granted.
The bolts on this are a bit confusing. Towards the top of the crack the first few bolts of Prime Directive are on the left and can be ignored. There are two bolts on the right for this climb, but the first is in a weird spot and felt useless as there's a higher good gear placement that's also more in line with where I pulled the roof. The second bolt is up and right and protects the easier moves to the anchor.
