Description 

Follow the gold streak up the gritty slab with the crux moving past the first bolt. Once past the last bolt it's a little runout but the angle kicks back and it gets much easier.

Location 

The obvious gold streak/stain left of Picnic.

Protection 

3 bolts, 2 bolt anchor/rap (all 3/8"). Optional 1.25" piece in the horizontal between bolts two and three.
