A steep start leads to enjoyable face climbing and a large recess.  A dynamic move getting out of the recess is the crux.

Orange Crush

Sustained, technical face climbing starts at a low bolt and bypasses a bulge on the left.  Trend slightly left to a technical headwall.

Left of Red to Riches. Bolt line gradually traverses left, then follow the slab to a fun roof. Crux at the 3rd bolt, tricky climbing, once you figure it out it's not that bad.

The left-most climb on the Gold Wall.

Climb up a short crack and work right and up to the top of the red wall. A reachy crux is harder for short folks. Finish on a nice layback and touchy slab.

The steepest hand crack in Pine Creek, too bad it’s only 45 feet long.

Climb an easy alcove up to a huge ledge.(rap anchor). from here,traverse out right to a dihedral on an arete.(1 bolt) About halfway up the pitch, step left out on to the face,(another bolt) and continue up the arete. Climb past 3 more bolts up a fun and exposed face to the anchor. Rap off to the climber's right.

From the base, boulder up a short section with optional protection that leads up and over easy 5th class to a sloping ledge at the base of a corner. An initial layback move gains the corner, which requires creative stemming and layback climbing, to a good rest just under a roof/visor. Boulder out under the roof, traversing through a series of technical moves, using pockets, and a horizontal crack/seam to a mantle at the end.

Start off the block ledge on the left side of the Gold Wall. Technical climbing leads to a walk the plank ledge and a reachy crux move on nice holds. Finish on a tricky slab. Shares the anchors with "Orange Crush".

Climb the crack on the right side of the Gold Wall merging with "Pot of Gold" near the top.

Use the crack to get to the first bolt. Climb funky moves to a large crack and then finish on a tricky move to the anchors.

This is on the same side of the gully as The Gold Wall. It's the next flank of rock just uphill. Climb a narrow left facing corner/ramp to a nice ledge. Stay right here (better protection). Follow cracks up a ways to another great stance. From here thin cams will get you to a single bolt in between cracks. Climb past bolt to finger crack that turns to a pod/alcove.(crux 5.10) Then a thin hand crack takes you to the anchor.

This route is mostly a 5.6 dihedral, perfect for a starting leader. The climb starts on a dihedral slab that goes through a small roof down low at the 2nd bolt.(5.9) A few more slab moves get you to a great stance and easier terrain. Climb a beautiful 5.6 dihedral til it pinches off. Step out left and follow easy face (5.2)? past a bolt to the summit of Sweetie pillar. 2 raps with a 70m rope.

Start at two right leaning hand cracks. Boulder up into cracks and traverse up and right in a cool double crack system (cams) .At first bolt, step directly left; then follow 6 more bolts, up through the thin flake system. alternatively; There is a short Rt. facing dihedral just right of the flake (3rd bolt?);that can be done  with some small cams or stoppers.5.8

Lie back the left side of a pillar. Gain the notch between the pillar and the wall, and surmount the pillar. Step across notch to clip bolt and gain the slab. Follow bolts up the slab and left to a large roof. Pull roof and head up to the next smaller roof with double dihedrals. Climb up and through to the mantle just before the anchors.

A great climb up the center of the Gold Wall. Well protected and fun. A little cryptic as most of the holds face the wrong ways. Fun climbing here!
