Third Corner [ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Third Corner
Third Corner-5.9, B Slab, Wasootch Slabs, Kananaskis Country, Canadian Rockies. One of the best trad routes at Wasootch Slabs. It is the next corner just right of Second Corner. However this corner does not rise all the way to the top. It peters out and then you wind your way up to some hanging blocks above. The rappel rings are above these blocks. This is a full 30 meter route, but the 5.9 is just in the bottom half. Good cam and nut placements for the more difficult climbing. A little run out after that. You can protect before you have to do an overhang to get over those blocks, it is not bomber however.

""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
