Peak Mountain 3

Black Quartzite

FA Garon Coriz and Matt Evans - 2018
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Difficult climb with minute, sharp crimps on a slightly overhung wall. The first crux is getting on the wall to the first bolt, which requires some contortion and major balancing skills. The second crux is transitioning from the 8-inch long finger ledge to the finger crack up and to the right (there's a smaller crimp to the left that helps).

The climb was named after the wild black crystalline structures to the right after the top-out.

Location

North side of the Miyazaki Formation. Likely never sees the sun but only enough, not much lichen on this spot.

Protection

6 bolts to a 3-bolt anchor. Use all bolts at the anchor if you can, but you can just as easily get by with using the lateral bolts only (the ones with quicklinks).
