Better again. Clean to the crux section onto the slab; two falls on that section, then clean to the finish. Another try or two and I might put it together. On TR, that is. Lead... hm... have to think about that, don't have to carry much rack, at least.

Even dirty, and digging stuff out of the crack to place gear and hand jams, this was a good climb. I think, with cleaning, it may be a classic. The upper crack section is the first section of good crack climbing I've found at Lac Sam.

Followed David up this to start the day. More gear keeps presenting itself, which is a good thing. The top dihedral is still a bit run out. WATCH OUT on lowering: there's a notch (at the top of the second big blocky section, I think) that has a nasty tendency to catch the rope and stop it.

This climb has real potential, particularly the crack in the upper half, but it will definitely need some gardening. The rock at the start felt friable: proceed with caution here. After the wide step right, as you start to move up, look out for loose rock in the mini-dihedral to your left. Then just enjoy the heck out of the finger crack that takes you to the top.

Took two tries at the crux to figure it out. It should go clean next time and possibly lead as there is a nice juicy bolt guarding the crux.

Lead it again. Gear is finicky at the start, I used a (little) white tri-cam, and not sure the rock is strong either.
Still contemplating a bolt to protect the opening. |

Got the lower sequence pretty smooth and easy, but took about 4 tries at the crux. I think I may have a slightly better sequence now, but will need to try again soonish.

I found the lead of the traverse quite committing -- I was in groundfall range at at least one point, and found the gear tricky to find and place. Especially in advance, it was difficult to see where the next piece might be.

Went clean on toprope. Sussesed out the gear. Bottom takes some bomber nuts protecting the hard moves to the first bolt. Bolt guards the crux nicely but the top has nothing but runout. Redpoint is a ways off, but I can see it.

Where Peggy has one move of 5.7 at the start and lots of 5.4 with maybe 5.5 bits, Piton Highway has about 6m of 5.7 climbing. Makes it a much tougher lead.
