Corkscrew, 5.12a (A0)

Corkscrew, 5.12a (A0)
1st-2nd Pitches- 70m- 5.8R/ Did not see this as being 5.8 or run out on the first pitch as referenced in the guide book topo. We started directly under the 2nd pitch and ran up easy ground passing the belay ledge to a fun corner/crack for the grade (5.7) passing a bulge and piton to a comfortable belay with a fixed piton and gear crack, maybe one meter short of 70m with the 2nd (70m rope) still on the ground.
Corkscrew, 5.12a (A0), 7 Pitches, Yellow Edge Area, Yamnuska, Alberta, July, 2008

""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
