Bottleneck Direct, 5.10a

 
[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Bottleneck Direct, 5.10a
6th Pitch- 45m- 5.8/ This is the namesake pitch for the route. Stem and chimney up the wide bottom portion of this obvious chimney. As it narrows to the bottleneck, make an exposed unprotected move right to latch onto a small sloping ledge on the right wall. Place gear in a crack up and right and make the crux move of the pitch by finger jamming up and into the solid, but slightly overhung, crack and follow it to the base of the next chimney (single piton with very small gear for belay). You will see bail tat where folks have stayed in the chimney too far up.

""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
