Peak Mountain 3

Handjob

FA E. Lecroix, T. Seibert, 1980
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

A great climb on great jams with solid rock and pro most of the way. A good warm up for some of the harder lines in the area.

Climb the obvious hand and fist crack, passing a roof at mid height (crux) and continue to a big ledge and belay.

To descend, rap from a set of bolted anchors which have replaced the fixed slings up top.

Location

From the main approach trail, turn left and go under a large, wide roof, which houses the hard routes, Which Way is Up (10d) and Basecamp (11b). Continue past the roof past a radical looking chimney Hidey-Ho (5.10) and perhaps 70 feet further, passing Investigator (5.7) and Lactic Acid (5.9) to reach a flat wall split left-to-right by an obvious hand and fist crack and top-to-bottom by a small roof. The obvious crack is Handjob, a stout 5.9.

Protection

A standard light rack with some hand and fist sized cams.
