Description 

This short, heavily featured face is just left of Coyote Crag and home to several well-protected moderates - Hidden Gold (5.7) and Gold Bug (5.8), as well as one longer one - Gold Standard (5.6).

The base of the wall requires a little scrambling to reach and is somewhat uneven, making this not a child or pet friendly area.

Routes listed from left to right:

Gold Bug (5.8)
Flash for Hash (5.8)
Hidden Gold (5.7)
Gold Standard (5.6)


Getting There 

Approach as for Coyote Crag and the Doc Holiday Wall.

This is a good wall to hit when Coyote Crag is locked down. Not so pleasant, though, on those hot summer days.
