Black Track, 5.9

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

Black Track- 100’- 5.9/
This is a fantastic black varnished single pitch crack at Red Rocks. Pretty consistent grade from bottom to top, hand jamming the whole way, no bolts. You pass an anchor at 70’ used for Big Foot to the right. Continue up an easy off width section to the top or head out onto the face to the left past 2 bolts to the anchor (5.11c). Herbst put this obvious line in way back by Red Rocks standards, 1973. Take a single rack to 4”.

""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
