Peak Mountain 3

5.6 Crack

FA Unknown, possibly Frank Harvey, 1980ish

UPDATED 

Description

Great intro to chimney climbing. Climb the wide crack with good gear in horizontals. I was glad for a #6 up top, but it isn't necessary. 

Location

When entering the Front Area, it is the first major face on your left as you near the overhung area. The corner is the obvious crack in the Bard Wall. 

Protection

Traditional gear. The anchors for a nearby toprope can be reached by hiking around to the top of the boulder. They are difficult to reach when leading this route however, and so the leader will want to top out around the side.
