Galactic Cannibalism, 5.10b

Galactic Cannibalism, 5.10b
Galactic Cannibalism, 5.10b/ One of my favorite routes at Black Rocks north, located in between Moses Had a Stick Clip, 5.10a and Dark Matter, 5.10c. A classic on lead, sustained finger pocket 40'er. Eases up towards the top. Middle is the crux. Four bolts to cold shuts.
Black Rocks, Red Cliffs Desert Reserve, St. George, UT, February 3, 2007

I don't know Charles. Bottom line is I can lead 5.10 sport climbs all day, but with trad gear, multi pitch alpine days at 5.10 is a huge deal for me and definitely at my limits. cclaude, pvalchev and I did McTech Arete in the Bugs this past summer and it takes a lot more stamina and guts to lead 5.10 on long walls with packs on. Chuck (cclaude) is a true climbing artist though.

""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
