Peak Mountain 3

Wildfire

FA Paul Landrum, Ken Currens, March 1975
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

The crux of this classic climb is the first half of the route. Insecure feet and thin fingers in the tight starting dihedral lead to a ledge at halfway. From here, a somewhat easier finger crack ends at a steep jumbled headwall. Rap anchors are just right of this, around a blind corner.

Location

North end of Wildfire Wall (West side of the Crooked River).

Protection

Pro to 2 1/2 inches. Passive pro tricky to place in the first half due to bottlenecks being very narrow and inward crack flaring. Cams work great in this section.
