In shogi, Climbing Gold (棒金 bōkin) is a strategy used in different openings in which the Static Rook player advances their right gold up the second file if played by Black or the eighth file if played by White supported by the player's rook.

For example, the Climbing Gold may be a useful strategy to counteract an opponent's Ishida formation.
