Peak Mountain 3

Rumble in the Jungle

FA Jake Mergenthaler, 2002

UPDATED 

Description

Can't really identify a crux. Pretty consistent easy 5.8 on the upper slab, mostly 5.6 below that. Really cool pock marks and texture on this upper slab. Watch out for the neat, but sharp, chert bands on this route. You even get some decent crack moves down low.

Descent:

Rappel route (70m rope).

Location

Hike up the gully past Fire Spire, Sunfire Slab, and a massive overhanging boulder. This route starts in the narrow part of the gully just left of the spacious belay ledge.

Protection

13 bolts to shuts. YOU NEED A 70m ROPE. Alternately, if you have a 60m, you can traverse left and lower off of Brice Jessen anchors.
