Description Hidden Gold is a well protected moderate that takes a line up the middle of an attractive face with plentiful holds. Stem off a boulder to start or climb direct and after passing a low crux wander upwards enjoying the solid, well-featured stone. This would be a good lead for somebody just getting their lead head together.
Protection 4 bolts, chain anchors

| Fun climb that's well worth doing. The direct start (without using the boulder behind) makes this a much more memorable and consistent lead. |

| Very easy, but fun for the begging lead climber. I'd do it again if it was a bit taller. |
