Description:
Fabulous finish to Golden Earring. Climb to the traverse. Instead of going left, sling your gear long, step right, and then pick your way up the steep finish.

Great top out for Golden Earring
Climbed the Golden Earring start well, breezed through the scary traverse out to the face, and then fell a couple of times following up the business part. Still a great climb with great views from the top belay stance.

Pumpy.
No crux move. A great overhanging jug haul.

Finally got around to it
Been looking at this for a while and finally got up the nerve to do it. Was a bit scared by the other Moore's 8 I tried (Super Direct) but this was way more reasonable. Sustained overhanging moves up stellar jugs with excellent pro (C4s .5-2 do the job). I just slammed cams home every so often and flew up this thing. It's more fun if you go straight up after you turn the corner from Golden Earring. I broke it up into two pitches by putting in a gear anchor just after that corner (mainly to re-collect some of my gear from GE). Fantastic belay ledge and crack for gear+small tree at the start around that corner. Getting around the corner is a little weird but getting a foot out helps; it's just a little awkward.
Can't wait to get on this again and see if I can extend the overhanging bit a little longer before I bail out to the easy section. Seems a little intense for an 8, but maybe that's just classic Moore's sandbag grading. I'd give it 5 stars if it was longer and didn't have the crappy low angle top out. Easy to scramble off to climbers left to get to the anchors for Golden Earring.
