Cathedral Spires

[ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]

Needles, Custer State Park, South Dakota, April 2006
This set of spires can actually get you more into long trad mountaineering sort of days if you traverse them. They have a ton of ethics regarding trad vs bolts in this area, and they seem to maintain that vision well.

""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
