Haunted Hooks, 5.10c

[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]

Haunted Hooks- 80’- 5.10c/
(photos) David Borroughs and Alan Busby established this fine line in 1993. Jerry Handren and I agree this is no doubt one of the finer 5.10 single pitch sport routes at Red Rocks. A sustained pitch that hits a balancing/reachy crux at about the half way mark. After that it looks like it is going to ease up a bit, but surprises you in that it remains mostly sustained for the full length. Nine bolts to anchor on solid rock. Might even be a bit longer than 80’.

""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
