Great Beyond, 5.10

Great Beyond, 5.10

1st/2nd Pitches- 65m- 5.7/ I combined these pitches with a 70m rope. The first pitch angles up right via a ramp. A perfect seam on the left allows plenty of placement that takes you past a tree on the right and then the ramp gives up two seams on either side as it ascends deeper into the chimney and to the webbing/bolt anchor on the right wall above a very comfortable belay station. The second pitch is classic chimney climbing and is much steeper than the first pitch as you basically stem up the deep chimney, moving out when it gets too narrow. Focus on either wall’s features versus the many loose blocks stuffing the interior of the chimney. There is a seam or two on the left wall you can protect into. Continue stemming until the walls widen too much to do so. Then move left into a finger crack and follow it up onto a comfortable ledge with fixed belay (2010).
