Peak Mountain 3

Route 16

FA unknown, 1970s
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Start in the first place that seems reasonable to the right of Flying A. Boulder up on good ledges to reach an obvious big flake (wiggly, don't pull too hard!) and traverse right and move up in a hands section. Exiting the flaring slot above this is the crux. The thin crack above this is easier climbing with more footholds, but prevalent gear placements for 15' or so. Near the top, the crack widens to hand size.It's a worthwhile easier climb (for the Playground). Tough for Playground 5.9, but easy for Playground 5.10.

Location

This climb is about 20' to the right of Texas, or about 10' right of Flying A. Identify a flaring slot about 2/3 of the way up.

Protection
