Peak Mountain 3

Shaking the Pope's Hand

FA Ellen Pomtier, 1993.

Description

This is an excellent, well-protected beginner lead and is just plain fun to do whenever you're there. Climb up the slab to the first bolt (probably the crux), and then follow easier ground past 3 more bolts to a water groove where the slab rears back to vertical. Move up the water groove on huge incuts (and a birdbath) to a two-bolt anchor.

Location

Beginning from the right side of Mt. Boner, this is the second bolted route.

Protection

6 or 7 QDs plus something for the anchor.
