Description
The first route that I developed here, CCD was certainly a plum ripe for picking.
P1 - Start in the incredibly obvious dihedral on the right side of the wall. Where it appears the dihedral steepens into a roof, you will traverse right on a pair of horizontal cracks, gaining a ledge and then traversing back left to a tree belay. 5.8 150'
P2 - Climb up and slightly left from the belay, entering a 5" wide, bottomed-out water runnel. This is what appeared to be a splitter from below. Run out between so-so placements for 200'. 5.9+ PG-13
Scramble 50' to base of final cliff.
P3 - Chill 5.5 all the way to another big ledge. 200'
Descent - Walk off and to the left (east) down a gully. If you hit it just right, there is no need for a rappel. If you must rappel, it should only be one until you find yourself in the main gully.
Location
Far right side of Hidden Gold Wall. Starts in major dihedral.
