Peak Mountain 3

Bear's Delight

FA John Christian, W. Putnam, 1971
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Climb the corner. Pass the pine tree and pull the bulge to the top.

The book rates it at 5.5. It's every bit as difficult as Front C so I'd put it at 5.6. Definitely a fun little route worth doing if you're there. Take a camera up with you as the top of the climb affords one of the best views of the South Peak East Face.

Location

This is the large right-facing corner on the left end of the ledge atop Lichen or Leave It and Helter Skelter.

Protection

Standard trad rack. Rap/belay anchor at the top.  The anchors were not put in for this climb.  They're there for Lichening Bolt, though they do make the descent from Bear's Delight a zillion times easier than topping out and walking off this part of the crag.
