Hidden Gold is a well protected moderate that takes a line up the middle of an attractive face with plentiful holds.

Stem off a boulder to start or climb direct and after passing a low crux wander upwards enjoying the solid, well-featured stone. This would be a good lead for somebody just getting their lead head together.

Flash for Hash

Gold Standard

Flash for Hash starts in the finger/small hands crack between Gold Bug and Hidden Gold.  It is difficult to say where the crux lies; most of the crack can be avoided due to the well-featured face on both sides.  Avoiding those holds, I found the start to be a little tough and the upper half of the crack yields better to a layback than to hand jams, at least for my hands.  Finish above the crack, up the face on fairly large edges, between Gold Bug and Hidden Gold, clipping the bolts on either side.  This route is usually done as a TR from the anchor for Hidden Gold.

.

Start up the outer face of a large block and then diagonal up and right to access the main face where fun climbing on vertical edges takes one to the top of the wall.

A touch harder than the other routes here and just as enjoyable.

Incut plates and edges past two bolts lead to a steeper section of rock (crux) as you move up and right past two more bolts, and then finish up the shoulder of Coyote Crag past three more bolts.

The view from the anchors are expansive and well worth checking out.
