Gold Stiletto aka Stiletto/Gold
Description
OK, this is a link-up, but it's a very-very-very-good link-up. Climb the first nine bolts of
Stiletto
, passing through its strange but ultimately awesome lower 5.13- crux, moving up the 5.12 face/arete moves above, copping the rest around the left side of the arete, then surging into the 5.12d arete/compression crux over the rooflet. At bolt nine, bust right into the undercling/flake system on
Goldfinger
, cop a rest on the good flake, then finish out the final two bolts of
Goldfinger
(techy, ticky-tacky 5.12d).
There are 11 bolts total. Long draws for drag are helpful on the first and fourth bolts; use an extendo draw on the last bolt to clip before you head into the final crux.
Location
Begin on
Stiletto
, and finish on
Goldfinger
.
Protection
11 bolts to triple-bolt anchor.
