Description

Having 911 on speed dial is a good idea if you have a doubt of making the moves above the single Leeper bolt.  The holds are available but are cryptic and can feel loose.  Find the magical slot for your first bomber piece and continue upwards into the groove.  The climbing remains "fun" and loose through the groove/chimney.  I belayed at the obvious, secure feeling spot at the beginning of the chimney (good gear and comfortable belay).

Pitch two climbs up the neat and secure chimney to a pseudo-summit before finishing on a short face to reach the true zenith and the original summit register.

A single 70 meter rope will place you at eye level of the Leeper bolt but still 30 feet off the ground.  We gingerly rapped off the old bolt or you can down climb the 5.6 flake back to your packs.

Location

Peters Rock is the first formation you will walk past to reach the others.  From the cool notch you can see the only bolt on the route just above the 5.6 flake

From car to base can be done in less than 1 hour.

Protection

One 41 year old bolt, cams to #3, nuts, ambulance.
