Peak Mountain 3

Upper Walls

Description

[Edit]

Roughly speaking, this is the band of cliffs high above the path, which can be seen after about 5 minutes walking ENE of the Waterfall Wall. The left boundary is the wide, dank, near-vertical ravine above the distinctive right-facing Graphite Corner, which lies near creek-level just before the stream bends sharply right away from Crane Mountain's face. Most notable is the prow that forms the skyline up high from the vantages near that stream bend. Its right boundary is less obvious, but for simplicity's sake, the walk-up path runs into a very steep chute that makes a convenient landmark end to it; the only problem with it being what to call the assortment of cliffs right of that gully but left of Caterpillar Cliff. Oh well; Crane defies easy description. While it is ridiculously far from the car and for the most part ludicrously filthy, this cliff is the one that makes this area so compelling. There's a lot of rock here, a lot of potential.
