Peak Mountain 3

Trail Slab - Right Gully

FA TR Sharon + Ken Roberts
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Lots of moves around the difficulty grade.

. . Needs more cleaning of vegetation and dirt and loose rocks, especially in upper part.

Up about ten feet on rock, then step Right about five feet above vegetation. From there roughly straight up, staying roughly six to ten feet left of left-facing corner. Finish in shallow gully.

warning

: The rock on and near this route has not been climbed much yet, and some of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber.

FA first ascent? The listing of a Top-Rope first ascent does not imply that top-roping is the "appropriate" style for this route. If some party bolts this route and leads it and supplies a careful description of the size and metal-composition of the bolts and hangers - (by posting an Improve This Page or a Comment below) -- they wlll be given first-rank FA on this page. Also they can supply their own name for this climb (which is why currently this route has a "generic" name, awaiting installation of hardware).

Location

Where the main access trail meets the cliff. Right of small buttress, left of low rock with bushes on top.

Protection

No anchor hardware or intermediate bolts as of May 2017.

Top-Roping: Perhaps could use trees at the top of the cliff with static line as "natural" top anchor.

For ideas about how to get access to set up top anchor, see

Description page for this Lewis sector

.

Protection for Trad leading is unknown and likely inadequate.
