New Worthwhile Route-Yak Po eak/Windwalker

Guided Windwalker , the relatively new route on Yahk Peak, today.

The route is a tale in three parts. The first few pitches follow the previously established CardiYak Rhythm on quality granite slab climbing with relatively spaced bolts.The next 6 pitches feature great rock and a mix of good gear and tighter spaced bolting. The last three pitches have some truly poor kitty litter climbing, even requiring a fixed chain in order to get past the worst of it.

Overall a great addition to the feature, though the memory of the good middle pitches is marred by the poor quality ending.

A sufficient rack would leave behind one #3 and one #4 from the rack suggested by the first ascensionists as reported on Mountain Project.
