Goldenfingers Wall is a climbing area in Utah's Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, within the Salt Lake Ranger District. It sits about 0.1 mile from the Hounds Tooth Trail and Ferguson Canyon Trail, and the Ferguson Canyon climbing area is just as close. The climbing here ranges from mixed and sport routes to traditional routes, with grades from 5.4 up to 5.11. The median grade is 5.10a, and the area's hardest route is Golden Oldie at 5.11. Among the named routes are OtherWorld (5.4), Arete Bernadette (5.10a) and Arete Juliete (5.10a). The wall is managed by the Forest Service. Spring and fall are the most comfortable seasons to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 71°F with lows near 48°F in May to highs around 64°F and lows near 43°F in October, while July averages climb to about 91°F. The station sits about 345 feet lower than the wall, so temperatures on the wall run cooler.
