Climbing Baby Bites the Sun

Description

A not so technical trad route that leads up through a crack. Placement of nuts are best a little before the crux and to the left of the crux to avoid a tumble. The crux is a fun full arm lift on a bowling ball sized rock next to the second nut placement. Near the end you'll run into a bush thats a little tough to get through. End on the top above the ground level access. Be careful of slippery moss footholds.

Location

While looking up at the Fins from the parking this is located on the left side of the lowest fin. Cross the road and head up the left side of the lowest fin. Follow the base of the fin for about 5 minutes until you come to the Gold Wall, and obvious southwest facing wall with gold and blue streaks. Climbing Baby Bites the Sun runs up the crack to the right of Copa de Oro.

Protection

Two nuts ranging from #10-13. There are no anchors at the top, but there are chains from an unnamed top-rope route that could be used farther to the right. Slinging a rock with at least a 120mm sling and tossing a #10 nut in a crack works as an anchor at the top.
