Peak Mountain 3

Downward Spiral

Description

Climb a short finger crack (5.10+) to gain a ledge and then continue up the interesting knobby face (5.11a) to another ledge just below the top where a final bolt gains the anchors.

A nice mix of climbing on this with two cruxes - one at the start and another midway as you pinch crystals reminiscent of Tuolumne Meadows.

Location

Just left of center on the buttress and just right of Purgatory.

Protection

8 bolts, gear to 1 inch, bolted anchor/rap (shared with Purgatory)
