About
Blackbeard’s Gold is a 5.8 YDS sport, 35 ft (11 m) located in Telluride/Norwo > Pipeline Wall. First ascent by Chris Dickson, July 2020. This route begins with a tricky start then climbs past 4 bolts and nice pockets to a chain anchor. It is (currently) the rightmost route on “The Black Pearl”, a sub-wall of Pipeline featuring short routes with “new school” bolting. These routes serve as good warm-ups or first leads for the novice leader. *** This route, along with the others on The Black Pearl are usually wet in the early summer. Depending on snow melt, they are usually dry and cleaned up by July. *** Protection: The fourth route from the left, this climb begins on calcite jugs.
