Description
This thing must get freed!
P1 - Rambly, low-quality 5.9 gains a steep, somewhat dirty and wildly painful 5.10 fist/off-fist crack in a dihedral. A magical mantle onto the slab with little crimps in the slanting crack at chest height. Traverse out left, placing small gear in the crack. Get comfy on the small ledge by placing great gear above your head. Punch it. Cruxy face moves are protected first by the good gear mentioned and then a bolt (placed on lead). A dirty, sloping mantle to the big belay ledge is protected by a fixed pin. 5.11 A2 (possibly 5.12-?) 200' Beware of rope drag. Maybe climb on half ropes.
P2 - Easy climbing above the belay leads to a unique 5.9 slab dihedral that is exited left via a short hands splitter. Gain the ledge and friction stem directly up a stellar dihedral. Easy, but somewhat loose climbing leads to the mega ledge. 5.10+ 200'
P3 - 5.6 leads to top of the wall
Decent - Walk to the left (east). If you hit it right, you shouldn't need to rap, as you will find yourself in a large gully. If you don't hit it right... rap off of trees into gully.
Location
Starts at the very toe in the middle of the Hidden Gold Wall - to the right of the huge left-facing dihedral. Aim for the slanting splitter you can see 150' up.
Protection
Double rack up to BD #3.
