Peak Mountain 3

Fleabitten (Mid-Climb Variation)

FA Jon Sykes, Bill Keiler
CREATED May 2023
UPDATED May 2023

Description

From the top of the first pitch of Weissners Dike climb slab (.9) with very small gear up to a belay to the right of the Old Mans Dog. From there, drop down and aid (C-1) out the obvious crack that diagonals out the roof (would like to see this go free). At the end of the crack climb very enjoyable flakes and edges up to a fixed belay on top of the Dog (.7).

Location

Below the Old Mans Dog.

Protection

Jon hammered a birds beak into the 5.9 crux, it probably will take a small nut there now. Otherwise the pro is pretty good. The aiding is straight forward.
