Description

A sport climb. This excellent climb goes up a corner clipping a few bolts, before cutting out right to the arete and up past 4 bolts and 4 fixed pins. This route took a few days to establish, and was finished on a very cold day in a hail storm. This is also the first route done on the Peta Crag.

Location

This is the striking right arete of the Peta Crag.

Protection

Quick draws for the bolts and fixed pins. Lower from an anchor (one pin and one bolt).

[Hide Comment] I think the official count is to bring 15 draws - 10 bolts plus 3 pins and the anchors and which does not include clipping a scabby RURP that is found in the line of pins (skip it). Fun climbing and very well protected. Anchor is a bomber Fixe bolt and a Large piton with sling. Sling replaced 10/7/13 Oct 7, 2013
