Peak Mountain 3

Hot Tuna

FA J. Bottrell, 1980s
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

The route is listed in Hanson's old guidebook as 5.9+. It seems to have been lost in obscurity for quite some time now. I spent an hour scrubbing lichen and sweeping pine needles off and brought this little gem back to life!

The initial boulder problem is the crux, and it's possible that something down low has broken since the FA. A crashpad is the best protection for this section. The crack (and the pro) starts about 15 feet off the ground. A couple pads and a couple pieces makes for a fun, gritstone style route.

Location

Furthest left line on the G Store, 20 feet right of the access chimney.

Protection

A couple small nuts and cams and crashpad(s).

The best anchor option is using a static rope from a tree 50 feet back from the cliff's edge.
