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
Balancey seam crimping, laybacking, and compression, followed by a fun right-facing finger crack.
The route generally goes straight up, but reach to the right crack for a few moves, and optionally to the left crack as well.
Location
On the right half of the crag, start under a mini-roof formed by a broken column at half height.
Protection
RPs to #2 Camalot, with double cams in 0.2-0.4
I placed all the gear in the center crack. There is adequate small gear in the cruxy first half, but you can't sew it up and at least one placement is a bit tricky.
You can also easily swing over from Trigger Finger or Go with the Flow to TR this.
[Hide Photo] Rope hanging from the anchor showing the general line. Use the seam to the right, and optionally to the left, for a few moves.

There are a few ways you can do the bottom section depending on whether you're more inspired to supplement the thin center seam jams with holds on the left or around the pillar on the right. Either way it's high quality climbing. Apr 7, 2024
