Description Suggest change

This is a generally easy climb on solid rock that is a fun way to access the base of the Torch. It is also possible to do this route and connect directly to Torched to do the two routes in one pitch. Use long runners if attempting this. Named after the James Bond, "Goldfinger".

Hardest move is protected by the bolt at the base. The climb is on good rock that protects well and enables a nice warm-up climb to get to the base of the Torch. There are anchors here that can be used to establish for the three southern climbs up the Torch: “Lighting”, “Torchraker”, and “Torched.”

Location Suggest change
