"The Goldfinger route on The Stump is the gentle entry into climbing the massive walls of Alaska’s Ruth Gorge. But despite its diminutive stature relative to its neighbors, this climb is still 12 pitches and 2000’ of unforgiving alpine climbing with a 5.11 crux. Here Matt Henry hands the nuts to Patrick Wright on a lead switch about 5 pitches up the route before an eventual rain inspired bail a couple of pitches later." —Scott Rinckenberger ⠀
