Peak Mountain 3

Martian Route

Description

This a decent route up small ledges. It has some fun, balancy moves and a bird cave filled with dookie adds to charm.

Location

This lies on the "second tier" of Keyhole. From the South End Topropes of Kindergarten (Cathedral), hike west, uphill on a dirt trail to a saddle. The second tier is on your right. You can access the top of the climb by hiking around back, into a small canyon between 2 fins. A little hiking gets you to a place where you can walk on top of the fin of interest. Pass a large boulder and walk the top of the fin to the anchors.

Protection

The books talk about 4 pins - I only saw 3. It'd be a hairy lead, as the first pin is way up there. It can be toproped off a 2-pin plus a bolt anchor with appropriate slings and biners.
