How It's Done

Who says Peterskill is climbed out? A big move off the ground leads to more reasonable climbing, mostly near the arete. Ends with a gear anchor about where Crack-a-Lack tops out.

Starts on the face right of C-a-L; 5 ft left of the arete to be precise. Go up 12' or so, step to R side of arete for a few moves, then back left to a big mantle about a bodylength below a broad ledge. Finish easily up and left. An ALTERNATIVE START would be to start on the right side of the arete and join the route about 10-12 ft up. I'd call it a 5.6 line if you go this way.

A tad runout on the much easier rock of the last 20' but otherwise it's G rated. It just doesn't look that way from below! Small cam (I found a #0 Metolius to be especially mind-calming) to #3 Camalot. Typical rack in other words.
