Peak Mountain 3

Shady Chimney

FA Russ Johnson (1987)
CREATED May 2023
UPDATED May 2023

Description

Start by face climbing up around a wide crack which widens to the point where you can get inside.

Once you are inside the crack there are lots of big holds to make this chimney very easy. There is also a crack that takes regular size gear.

Near the top the chimney widens and the rock becomes smoother and less eroded. Keep chimneying through this and exit to the left. (Towards the river)

Location

The large crack to the right and behind the freestanding pillar with Throbbing Gristle.

Protection

Gear to 3", include small nuts and cams if you want to sew it up, and a sling and draw for the chockstones. Rap off the second chockstone (3 slings/3 quicklinks) or the bolted (chain) anchor shared with Stroking the Chicken.
