Chockstone Corner Direct, 5.10a

Chockstone Corner Direct, 5.10a
1st Pitch- 55m- 5.10a/ I observed somewhere on the net where someone thought this pitch was hard for 5.10. I thought the exact opposite. A great crack takes you through the overhanging crux about half way up. After that, you move up easy ground (cracks on the right wall) to a bolt that takes you left across a slab. You have to continue above the slab up into the corner above to build a gear belay in the start of the original route’s second pitch, but well above the first pitch belay which comes in from the left.

""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
