The Golden Dawn

THE GOLDEN DAWN 5.9 ** (100’) F/M(10b)

Begin in the corner about 15’ up and right of THE GOLDEN BOUGH and climb through the series of angular roofs to the upper slab - traverse right after the first roof to climb the right side of the 2nd and 3rd roofs (cruxes) and then through the middle of the 4th. Climb the upper slab and turn the final overhang on the right side to share the top cold shut anchors with THE GOLDEN BOUGH. A few gear placements are possible (nice but not essential) in the initial corner and on the upper slab.

At the far right end of "Little Pine Rock" (eastern end of the Upper Western Front), begin in the corner about 15' up from "The Golden Dawn". This crag is best approached by traversing left across the boulder field at the base of the Main Wall.

fixed - 10 bolts, plus various nuts possible in the lower corner and a #1 cam can be used between bolts on the upper slab.
