Arachnaphobia, 5.10a

[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]

Arachnaphobia- 60’- 5.10a/
(photos) This cliff is comprised of nasty soft rock. There is a project out to the right, not worth completing. I do not recommend this route, even as a warm up. But if you must, as I did…..tough start (real tough for a 5.10a due to sandy foot traction) reaching high right, but constantly returning left following a discontinuous crack up to a scoop. Easy going after that, but pulling on suspect jugs via overhanging moves to pull out of the scoop and head for the chains can test your courage. Five bolts.

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know."" --Rene Daumal
