Chockstone Corner Direct, 5.10a

 
[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Chockstone Corner Direct, 5.10a
2nd -3rd Pitches- 55m- 5.6/ I easily combined these pitches with a 70m rope, albeit with some rope drag. Continue up the easy corner and maneuver right well below a rap station (2009) on a ledge quite a distance, step down and around an arĂȘte and continue walking over to a cool separated mini tower. Stem up the tower with little if any pro to belay on top of a huge chockstone near the top. Some pitons as I recall combined with a solid gear crack.
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
