Peak Mountain 3

Mine the Gap

Description

[Edit]

This area is south side of a narrow gap behind the main pillar of the formation, most easily accessed from the south side, just all the way westward from The Sunny Side wall. This is essentially the back side of the Bowling Alley. This crag has amazing climbing in it, with really tall high quality routes and very interesting rock features. It's shaded in the morning and the afternoon, and sunny for a while in the middle of the day when the sun is up above the gap (timing changes by season). In the fall/winter it could get cold and windy in the shade. In late spring and summer you might want the shaded. In any case, the chasing sun and shade is as easy as moving a few paces one way or the other. Now, the base of this cliff is a real pain in the ass because it's steep and loose like a moraine affording it its very fitting name. Some work has been put into improving this situation, but more people need to be involved to make an appreciable difference. Still (did I say this already?) the climbing here is amazing.
