  • The local guide service uses this route to run up "fat camp" clients or tourists. That is about the extent of our local guiding really, thank god (our local guide service kind of sucks). Of course I use it for the same purpose if we have visitors who don't climb. A good route to learn trad lead as well. There is a pin on the first pitch at the crux move, which is right and up with little feet, but bomber hands. Then follow the corner to a ledge with a fixed station above. Most just rappel or set up top rope here, a full 60m rope required. But you can run up a second pitch that leads to 4th class that takes you to the top left edge of Island in the Sky where you can walk off north.

    ""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
