Description
Another Index classic.
Godzilla is the crack/corner system immediately right of City Park (5.13c), a fairly obvious landmark.
P1: (5.9) Start in a shallow right-facing groove/face, just right of being directly below the obvious City Park crack. Climb up and trend left to the big flake at the start of the main crack/corner system. Continue up the obvious right-facing corner-crack system and then traverse left along some ledges up to a bolted belay/rap station.
There are several variations to this pitch.
Bottom: (10b) Start further left, climb the City Park bolt ladder.
Middle: (10a) Right after the flake, go straight up into the corner instead of laybacking out right.
Top: Move left early. There are several points to do this.
You need a 70m rope to rap down from the belay.
P2: (10b) (AKA "Leaping Lizards") - Move right from the anchor, clip a bolt, right again, then head up a crack to a v-slot with a pin and another bolt. Step right (3rd bolt) and stem/mantle to the chains.
From here, there are also pitches that go further right to the top of Natural Log Cabin and the base of Salad Fingers.
P3: There is a third pitch. Please tell if you've done it, and we'll update this info.
