Ascent Notes for: Solid Gold - 5.10a Average Rating : 4.90/5

little edges

Consistent edges all the way up pitch one. second pitch was pretty cool too. Perfect temps. The mantle was actually not that scary for me. The vampire mantle is much more horrifying.

aaahh yes a crimp load of fun....definatly a little cold in the afternoon but....first pitch really nice...and then secound pitch out to the left well...not as epic as the first and probly should have placed gear after the last bolt but it well it is what it is....

Always in shade, nice run out to belay mantle. We bailed after first pitch because it was too cold.

Just trust the feet and don't crimp down too hard. Everything's there. Fun mantel to the ledge where the anchors are. Didn't do the second pitch in the interest of time.

one of my best leads, especially the second pitch

wonderful rock, positive edges, you can wander left and right and it doesnt seem to change too much

I don't celebrate Christmas but this was a real present. Don't say you did the climb without doing the .10a second pitch as well. Best route I've done at Josh. Ethically bolted, heady, sustained, and more climb-able than it looks. My partner Ursula would say otherwise, "My fingers are gushing blood" and "I hate this".

Led first, followed second. Second pitch is really heady!! Don't wimp out and go up My Laundry, follow the real route!!
