Qualifier

5.10b R, Trad, 70 ft (21 m),  Avg: 3 from 2 votes
FA: Paul Turecki, Jim Sweeney
Alaska > S Central Alaska > Mat-Su Valley Rock > Purinton Creek > Lower Walls

Description

Qualifier has a first bolt/chain located 12' up an arete above loose shit rock. Follow good rock on the arete past another bolt/chain to a rusty piton with old tat. Continue up and right to the anchor. This is a good way to access the upper wall.

Location

Qualifier is the right most route on the lower wall. Bushwhack along the base of the cliff till you get to a stomped down belay ledge. Look for the bolt/chain clip 12' up the wall.

Protection

3 Bolts, 1 Piton, 2 Bolt Chain Anchor.

Good climb. Could use some updated hardware. The anchor is solid.

[Hide Comment] Bring some finger sized cams to fill in gaps in protection. Fun climb and decent rock. Jul 11, 2014
