Peak Mountain 3

Chicken Head

Description

A unique climb to both the Hinterlands and Rumney, the black, crystalline rock feels a lot different than other climbs in the area. Start up a left leaning ramp past a bolt placed on a horizontal shelf. At the top of the ramp, climb up the black rock through a water trough. At the fourth bolt (crux), step left and continue up more crystalline rock. Above this, the angle and the difficulty both ease significantly to the anchors.

Note - The start is more direct now, beginning lower down and left of the ramp, and heading directly up to the ledge. 

Location

Located three routes to the left of the Cold Feet / Giant Man climbs, start just to the right of the diagonal crack on Chicken Parts.

Protection

Eight bolts to quick clips
