First Cave

 
[ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]
First Cave
The first route to the left of First Cave at Bataan is an unpublished route not shown in John Martin's, "Sport Climbs in the Canadian Rockies". Since the book was published, someone has ran a line of bolts up a long 30m route through a fun roof problem that develops into sharp and positive edge face climbing. The whole route is sustained at 5.10a and fairly clean as of 2007.
First Cave, 5.10a-11b, Bataan, Grotto Mountain, Canmore, AB, August, 2007

""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
