Peak Mountain 3

Spiral Staircase

FA October 2010

Description

The crux is the final offwidth chimney section; done as such an armbar and leg-braces manage the feat. One can avoid all that old-school stuff and simply stem up the outside edge of it, as well. Not a bad route; it's main detraction being that it collects all the detritus falling from above left.

Location

At the Height-of-Land Wall #3, about 100' right of the large ceiling, and 6' left of Stairway to Heaven; at the sinuous wide crack that begins as a flaring chimney. Descent: by rappel from fixed anchor.

Protection

Big cams helpful, though one can find alternatives.
