Peak Mountain 3

Wandering Around the Block

FA John Kelbel

Description

Although this route is enjoyable it does have some loose blocks on it, so be sure to keep your belayer out of harm's way.  Step up on the overlapping blocks for about 12 feet then start moving up and left above the small overhangs to a vertical line of weakness below the inside left facing corner.  Climb up the inside corner until you can traverse out the face to the right and around the outside corner block to the main face.  Climb up the face easily passing some roten rock and find the easy route through the upper overhangs being aware of some more loose rock.

Location

Roughly 40 ft to climbers left from the south end of the fin, forming the tunnel that the base trail passes through.  Check out the Top Rope setup topo picture below located about 30' after stepping down from the main overlook.

Protection

For top rope setup I usually rappel the route and place a piece or two of gear on the main face near the left facing corner for a directional.
