Pete's route.

| stew 7 posts | A good friend of mine and my regular climbing partner called me last week and said he needed some elevation and wanted to come to the island so is said come over and get some! I always have a great time when i go up Mt.Arrowsmith so i suggested that we climb Pete's route. I recently did Rudy's route and had a fun time so i thought more on the south summit would be great. I love that i can leave my house at 6:00 am and be hiking by 7:30am! The route is a fun but loose for most of it. The whole south summit seems to be like this but the atmosphere climbing this gully and the chimney at the top was a lot of fun! The face at the top of the chimney is actually fairly solid but the pro is spaced and you have to look for it but it is not very difficult. All and all i think Pete's route is a great day out and is good for someone like me who is a rock climber wanting to move into the mountains. As the the island guide book points out there does look like potential for more routes and harder routes on that part on the mountain. If any one knows if there have been more routes put up on the south summit since the guide was put out i would be interested in hearing about it. |
