Description
Thin cracks on a slab, to a hand crack, the climbing is long, sustained and very fun. Easiest way up is free climbing most at 5.10, along with a few bits of aid, you could A0 tension traverse off the first bolt on the reachy crack switch & higher up a few sections of C1 off small cams and nuts keep it interesting. Probably goes totally free at 5.11a/b or harder.
Getting off is a 2 rope rap from chains up near The Ear and Aces High. With one rope, you could traverse the ledge right and rap Four Kings.
Location
The Golden Arches is a large gully type feature loaded with nice looking cracks such as Hang Nine and The Dragon. These require a scramble up the dirty gully, which has 5.6 moves.
Zig Zag is located BEFORE this scramble, look for lead bolts on the big slab on the right.
Protection
10-12 quickdraws & alpine draws, doubles 0.1” - 2”; triples 0.1” - 0.4” and three 1” cams to sew it up. To aid it and keep it 5.10+, you’ll definitely need the triples along with small/med nuts. Two 60’s to rap route or with one 60, traverse ledge right and rap Four Kings.
