Arctic Arachide, 5.10a

 
[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Arctic Arachide, 5.10a
1st Pitch- 40m- 5.8/ There is sort of a ramp at the base of the wall between Almond’s corner and Macadamia’s corner. Start at the middle of that ramp and climb the face of it through a piton or two plus some gear. It is steep at first, but eases as you meander through some loose rock and blocks to get to the base of a fun corner/crack at the grade. This corner is the crux of the pitch, take it to a small ledge and set a gear belay there below the rotten roof above.

""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
