Peak Mountain 3

Pin Wall

Description

[Edit]

The Pin Wall is on the south side of Mt Yonah in the ravine between Yonah and Pink Mountain. It is primarily single pitch slab climbing that has a few bolts on each climb but requires trad gear on every route. It gets full sun and can be a great place to get away from the crowds on a cool/cold day. The rock is all pretty clean and grippy. The routes generally dry well but some are prone to seeping if it's rained recently. If the Main Face is all wet then it is probably wet here too. On the far right side of the formation is a 5 pitch trad route which is the longest route in GeorgiaThe Army evidently found it’s way over here at one point because there are random pins in cracks at a variety of places along the wall. It looks like they attempted an angling traverse and then lost interest or something. Hence it’s called the Pin WallSet your packs at the base of the wall and then traverse left out onto the large ledge for the majority of the routes. Take care on the ledge as a fall down the lower slab would be unpleasant. There are convenient places to put a cam for a belay “anchor” for every climb.A standard rack is sufficient but a few climbs like doubles in small cams and nuts
