Direttissima 5.8+ 9 Pitches

[ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]

2nd or 4th Pitch, Direttissima, 5.8+, 9 Pitches. Best described in the new guide book Yamnuska Rock. This is a classic on Yam that the late Hans Gmoser put up and was the route for that time period. I climbed it July 13, 2006. We mixed in several 5.9 variations that are described in the book.

""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
