Peak Mountain 3

8. West Terrace

Description

[Edit]

The west-most of the sunny view platforms of Powerlinez.

Interesting slab climbing at a wide variety of difficulties. . . (Perhaps see how far you get on the progression from easier to harder).

Top-Roping: Setting up a top anchor likely requires a non-short static line, say like 50 feet (longer for routes on right side).

A short way to get access from base to top is to walk 70-90 feet Left (NW) along base and see gully which starts up easy scrambling, but finishes with a short sequence low-5th-class. Otherwise access between top and bottom can be difficult or time-consuming. One idea is to send some member(s) of the party (carrying anchor-building equipment and the belay rope) to the top of the cliff (via the Boulder Rd) -- while the others go to the bottom of the cliff. After building the top anchor, the top members can rappel down to rejoin the others. If everyone arrives together at the bottom, it's a long walk around either the northwest or the southeast ends of the Rock Dojo cliffs and rocks.

. . (This cliff was called "Buttrest Buttress" in the old print guidebook).

warning: Loose rock is still a concern here. Belayer or other members of party should not stand anywhere near underneath the climber.
