Peak Mountain 3

Jeremy's Wall - Main Cliff upper right

Description

[Edit]

This is by all measures one of the showcase cliffs of Russell Crags. It honestly is one of the most stacked sport crags in NH outside of Rumney. Side by side mostly100 foot climbs with fantastic movement and a commanding view of the surrounding mountains. Right now the grades range from 5.11 to 5.13, they get you into the steeps and also test your footwork on lower angle terrain, often on the same climb. To name a few routes that are not to be missed The Golden Ratio 5.12a/b (Exposure!), Half Shell Heros 5.11a (Fantastic technical face climbing) and Even Flow 5.12d (hard, varied and well... flowy). But honestly it's so hard to choose just a handful of routes. Climb as many as you can!

I would be shocked if this area doesn't become very popular. The approach is about as committing as getting to Waimea at Rumney. Routes were bolted with stick clips in mind so make smart choices. There is often a clip up on the ledge for general use.

Historical note: This cliff has seen climbing in the past. We have found numerous pieces of old rusted gear showing that we are not the first to explore this breath taking piece of rock. Unsurprising since you can see it from the highway! If anyone has solid historical info about these or other climbs on the hill please let us know.
