Peak Mountain 3

2. Height of Land

Description

[Edit]

Some "old School" climbs from the mid-1970's through early 1980's which may need some cleaning for enjoyment. Road to Lhasa was cleaned (2014) and has some very nice, "non-slabby" moves. From the belay tree on Face Dances a path, close to the base of the slab, moves left. The climbs (as you move right-to-left from Face Dances) are: Hermaphrodite Flake (5.4), Mississippi Ramble (5.4) [both of which are now "rich" with moss and lichen] and its Variation START (5.5), Golden Potala (5.8+ - 5.9) and Road to Lhasa (5.7) start at the same place, then Summer Breeze (5.2), and finally Yak Between Worlds (5.8). Beyond "Yak" the slope drops off very steeply to the "Left Side". Webster included "What's Up Yankee (5.5)" in Height-of-Land climbs, but the cliff "breaks" so suddenly at "Yak" that this climb is probably more easily thought of as being a "Left Side" climb and I have put it in that Area.
