Peak Mountain 3

5. Swamp King

Description

[Edit]

Nice slab climbing in the 5.7 to 9+ range, on Top-Rope with a long static line. Shady pleasant environment (when it's dry). Page 89 in the 2011 Crefeld guidebook 2nd edition. But ...

Small, not much more than 20 feet high, and (as of 2014) needs some cleaning. Go there when you're sure it's dry, otherwise the base would likely be "swampy".

Top of the less-than-vertical wall has a nice well-defined edge for setting up top-ropes, but not many Trad gear placements near that edge, so best to have a long static line (50 feet / 15 meters) for most of the routes.

Many potential holds have moss on them or nearby, so might want to bring a brush or other tools for cleaning -- but lots of fun interesting moves even as it is (in 2014).
