Climber leading Golden Poodle


Description 

Climb broken but easy rock to a bolt about 20' up (optional gear to 2.5" available), clip it, and then get stood up to confront the crux just past the second bolt - thin edges along a vertical seam. Once past the crux the holds get progressively larger and more incut as the bolts get spaced further apart. After clipping the last bolt head straight up to chain anchors atop the highest portion of the wall.

Well protected, with engaging moves on suberb rock which make this an often done climb on this popular wall; this would be the next logical step after leading the nearby Bye Crackie (5.7) and Coyotes At Sunset (5.8).


Location 

Between High Noon and Coyotes at Sunset.


Protection 

6 bolts, bolted anchor/rap

Awesome climb! Delicate moves on small crimpers, quite vertical.
