Peak Mountain 3

Cramper

FA L. Dawson, M. Kennedy, C. Landry 1974

Description

This is one of the best cracks I have climbed at Independence Pass. Start by stemming up an open corner and make some strenuous moves to get into the splitter crack up above (splitter for Independence Pass at least). Jam the crack up a right-facing corner to a large ledge with an anchor.

This crack starts out as big hands and fists and narrows down to ring locks and fingers as you near the top.

Location

This is the next route right of

Honest Abe

. Just look for the obvious crack in a right-facing corner.

Protection

Standard rack to 3.5" or 4". 2 bolt anchor with slings at the top. Smaller gear can be placed where the large cams fit but is a little harder to get in.
