Peak Mountain 3

Kamps/Goldstone Route

FA Bob Kamps and Rich Goldstone, 1966

UPDATED 

Description

A nice, long route on the N face of Spire 4 that deserves more attention. The first pitch is somewhat dirty, but with more traffic, it could clean up pretty nicely.

P1 - Starting at the lowest toe of rock on the N face, link together crack systems traversing back and forth a bit. Belay (gear) in an alcove at the beginning of a large chimney system. You might have to work a bit for the pro, but it's there. (5.8+, ~175')

P2 - Begin up the chimney system, trending left into some offwidth and fist-sized action in the back of a deep cleft. Wriggle onto the summit and belay. (5.8, ~150')

Location

Hike just past the N side of the 3/4 gully to the toe of Spire Four's N face. A fixed pin should be visible from the ground and will get you headed in the right direction.

Protection

Doubles from tcu's to #4 Camalot. A #5 and #6 can be placed on P2. First pitch has a few fixed pins.
