Chockstone Corner Direct, 5.10a

 
[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Chockstone Corner Direct, 5.10a
4th-5th Pitches- 70m- 5.8/ Again I easily combined these two pitches with a 70m rope, but with considerable rope drag. The forth pitch is a decent pitch. Take the steep finger crack above past a piton or two (were not needed, good crack) until the climbing starts to dwindle, then just trend right below the wall, climbing easy but loose ground past a slung block (2009) (starting the easy 5th pitch) and angle out right on the slab aiming for a corner below a small roof where you will find several pitons, but can also set up a gear belay at several locations where the slab meets the wall.
Chockstone Corner Direct, 5.10a, 9 Pitches, Bottleneck Wall, Yamnuska, Canmore, Alberta, July, 2009

""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
