Peak Mountain 3

Upper West Ridge

FA 1971, Benedict, Lingle, Tickell
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Orange rock slab with many crack options for protection.

Descent: We rapped down to the glacier, walked towards camp at the base of Solva, and we slung a snow horn with our rope to rap through a large crevasse at the base of the 6th tower on the way back.

Location

We accessed from the 6th tower (hence upper). We made a couple of rappels and did a couple traversing pitches to get to the base of this. You could climb steeper, fun looking rock straight up from the glacier to get here, but you would have to do some more involved glacier travel.
