Description 

I'm told by a Silverton local that there's some loose rock in spots, but well worth climbing.

I first learned of this route after seeing this article http://www.climbing.com/exclusive/features/245gold/index.htm>>>>> by Durango climber, Jared Ogden. He listed this route as a Grade III.

More info TBA.


Location 

Just right of (adjacent to) Gold Digger.


Protection 

Well bolted - all the way up.

Bolted line up the center of the slab. 2 ropes. LOTS of loose rock on this route. The good holds are good but have your choss ninja skills turned on and follow the bolts or things could get ugly. Not as good as the Silver Stage up the road, but worthwhile.
