Last Pitch!

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

This was our pitch 5 (guide book pitch 7) and the crux of the route. Very fun and technical climbing, a little stout for the grade in my opinion. A few pitons offer help in clipping quick through the crux bulge. We took the fingers-hand crack on the left side of the summit block to finish the climb. Really fun! Zowier Tower, RMNP, July 6th, 2007.

"A hundred and forty million years ago a creature struggled to escape the hostile horizontal world. It became lean and strong and developed into a magnificent climber. Then, driven by sucess and the gear of evolution, it developed the feather. For the father of the modern bird, downclimbing had become a thing of the past." --Arc'teryx Creedo
