Peak Mountain 3

High Planes Drifter

Description

This route starts up Pale Rider then breaks right at the third bolt. As with Pale Rider there is no distinct crux, though getting off the ground is probably the most difficult move.

Either clip the third bolt with a long sling or unclip it after clipping the fourth bolt to prevent rope drag. You could skip the third bolt all together, but you would hit the ground if you came off close to the fourth bolt without clipping the third and it's not that the climbing is hard, but the rock is chossy enough to be worried.

Still quite dirty, but once it cleans up it will be an alright route.

Location

This shares the start with Pale Rider and branches right at the third bolt. The start is two routes right of Maple Jones (the route with glue in bolts).

Protection

lots and lots of bolts, very overbolted like Fist Full of Dollars and Pale Rider. Eleven bolts to a two chain anchor.
