Peak Mountain 3

Beginner's Hand Jam

FA Carl Horak & Lou Horak, 1971
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

The best route here at this grade. Perfect hands for ~20ft to a ledge, then small hands to fingers on increasingly thinner ground to the belay ledge.

Location

Find the perfect hand crack towards the right hand side of the cliff. Belay from the top and walk off (to the right).

Protection

Standard light trad rack (set of nuts, set of cams). It's very reasonable to go left to the anchor for Cactus Climb once you get on the big ledge at the top of this route. A .4 and/or .5 camalot serves well as a directional between the two routes.
