Topo of Peregrine Traverse in relation to the rest of Acker Rock. Note that this topo covers pitches 1 through 7, and does not include the downclimb, the chimney, and the knife ridge walk to the true summit

from pg. 57 of Rock Climbing Western Oregon, Mtn. 'N Air Books. Harold Hall leading the first on-site ascent of the Peregrine Traverse, Pitch 2 in heavy cloud cover, August 1997. This was our third pioneered route on Acker that August after completing Maltese Falcon and Black Magic. g orton

Start of the 2nd pitch

Greg headed up pitch 6 (note bolt placement on rope line on the left - easy climbing but would not be a fun fall, and top belayer can easily pull follower off with too much tension)

Daniel heading up pitch 2 (just clipped first bolt) with Greg on the hobbit belay

Looking up to lead climber, pitch 4

Looking up pitch 7 to the false summit from the belay.

5.8 variation following two bolts up lower headwall on Pitch-4 of Peregrine Traverse. We recommend belaying in the saddle at the base of this headwall.

Go buy Greg's book, "Rock Climbing Western Oregon Vol.2 Umpqua". Excellent beta and photos for Acker Rock as well as other remote and classic Umpqua routes. Thanks Greg!

Diana climbing a 5.8 variation on Pitch 4 of the Peregrine Traverse. We recommend belaying this variation from the saddle in the middle of pitch 4. From the saddle follow 2 bolts up the lower headwall.
