Peak Mountain 3

A Walk on the Swasey Side

Description

Follow the obvious ridge line.

P1: Climb 5.5 past 3 bolts, then follow the ridge to a huge belay ledge.

P2: Move out onto the exposed arete, climb up past a few bolts to the final summit block. 5.6 (This pitch can be scary for the second due to the long traversing nature and potential for a pendulum.)

Rap: We used 2- 50 meter ropes. I am not sure if a single 60 meter rope would work. Rap off of two bolts.

Location

1/4 mile behind Swasey's Cabin. Depending on where you park your vehicle you may have a 5 minute or a 10 minute approach. See pictures, and you will recognize the formation.

Protection

Quickdraws... it is like sportclimbing.
