Located on the backside of the large boulder behind the Lizard's Mouth cave, Goldak was always and still remains my very favorite problem at Lizard's Mouth. Delicate climbing up the face to the crack and then an exciting finish that's just high enough to keep you fully engaged. Usually a good idea to check the top-out holds for shards of broken glass before casting off.

Goldak

Yellow Belly

Lizards' Mouth Traverse

Flight of the Iguana

The Butthole

A few tricky and sequential moves lead to a giant rail at mid-height.  From here, 5.7 climbing on a large, flexing flake leads to the summit.

Climb a series of jugs and rails to gain a steep, grainy hand-crack.  Follow the crack and a series of pockets to the left of the crack to the lip of the Lizard's Mouth.  Turning the lip is the crux.  Pumpy moves up the headwall lead to the summit.

Start at massive undercling next to the butthole (there is no room for imagination here, it is a butthole). Make a couple long pulls to join up with the traverse and finish it left.
