Goblin's Gold

A fun romp up a pocketed face and crack that makes for probably the best warm-up in the Sidewalk Buttress area. Start up a crack and flake to a horizontal break and some good pockets on both sides of the crack. Awkward moves take you up to the final bulge with huge pockets and the anchor. The route is number 610 in Huey's

most excellent guidebook.

After hiking the main Sidewalk Buttress approach trail to the fork at the base of the wall, head left for 50 yards. Look for a clean, pocketed wall with a crack up the center and a bulge at top. This route heads up the crack between the flakes.

6 bolts. Very well protected.
