Gaining just 1,800ft., The Goldfinger route on The Stump is sustained and sports some of the best rock in the Gorge. You can rappel from any point so all snow gear can be left at the base as you focus on the rock climbing. The approach from Ruth Gorge is a short 20 minutes and teams work best as 2 or 3 people making the climb doable in one day. Bring 2 sets of cams to 3”, one set of stoppers, draws, slings and 2-200ft. ropes. Climb the dihedral up the main right crack. To descend, down climb to the notch between The Stump and The Wisdom Tooth. Traverse back to the top of Pitch 11 and rappel down to the base.
