Ascensões em Yak Peak como Onsight

Well, this route was a lot. Definitely alpine granite - very loose and crumbly at times. Lots of hollow flakes and insecure places for gear which you'd be wise not to fall on. It didn't make for easy or frequent gear placement. Also, recent rockfall and rocks shifting made the 6th to 8th pitches seem extremely chossy. The unprotected final slab pitch was an unpleasant yet easy surprise. However, the undercling pitch up to the floating bridge section was exceptional, and the upper crack pitches were sweet. Overall, a fun alpine adventure, and the scenery was exceptional. However, I wouldn't recommend this route for a less experienced trad or alpine climber.

Beautiful climb up an incredible face. Would be a classic if there was like 3 or 4 more bolts over the entire route to stop several large factor 2 falls. Pulled occasional gear to prevent this.

Not sure what the deal is with pitch 10 but it's the most scared I have ever been on a rope. Mossy wet dihedral or totally unprotected 5.10x crumbly steep slab with no gear for 15+ metres.

Perhaps we just got lost. All in all a great adventure.

Did the climb in 4 hrs 15 min, simul climbing until pitch 8, then doing the rest in 4 pitches, and soloing off. Still a 7 hr + day with approach and 900m descent on ball bearings. Fun outing

Awesome! Bigger and a bit steeped than it looks from the highway. Got a couple of new cams for booty when I went the wrong way too! Tip: traverse at the up to the awesome looking hollow flake, don't go straight up to the shiny rap chains on pitch 8 or 9!

My first alpine experience... beautiful. Since 5 years old I imagined watersliding down the face, then some 20 years later I climbed the sucker... 8hrs car to car
