Peak Mountain 3

Sign of the Cross

Description

This was established ground-up onsight. It features airy climbing, good pro, and a subtle body tension crux. Once it cleans up a bit more, it should settle at two stars.

Sign of the Cross begins with either

Foxtrot

or

Crazy Fingers

and then joins

Tango

for 20'. Where

Tango

moves left at the 3" undercling feature, continue straight up into a series of solid finger locks, and then grapple with a block-like feature to gain easier terrain. The original finish moved left to the last 15' of

Tango

due to nightfall. The direct finish, added later, is preferred.

Location

Above

Crazy Fingers

in the

Parallels

Area. Start via either

Foxtrot

or

Crazy Fingers

. Rappel from a slung tree 70m to the ground or 60m to top of

Parallels

.

Protection

A standard rack with an emphasis on small/medium nuts and a double set of finger-sized cams.
