Ascent Notes for: Golden Spike - 5.10b Average Rating : 3.40/5

then easier but sustained.

Thought this was at least a 10c as did others who climbed it that day who had done 10d's and 11+ on other Holcomb crags the same weekend.

Fun, felt 10a/b at least. Hard to tell, sun was right in the eyes so I'm sure that made it feel a bit harder, having to blindly reach around while locked off... lol.

Good route, though. Well worth it.

this kicked my ass, tried to lead but had to back down ..

pumpy route.

You may choose from fingerlocks or crimps to get past the little roof between bolt 3 and 4.

I personally think this is the best climb on Coyote Crag wall. It gave me the most pump and biggest challenge. It's well protected, and more sustained then other routes on the wall. If being compared to other climbs on the same wall or in the same area it has to be given a 10c rating. At one point I did down climb for 3 feet to regroup and regain my composure.

pretty fun finger jams for a sport climber as myself.

Good times, ehh?

10c in the guide (felt more like 10c as well)
