Takakkaw Falls Route

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

8th and 9th Pitches- 55m- 5.6/ I combined these two pitches, no worries. The best pitch of the route. Climb fun ground straight up, slightly angling left on the 5.6 portion past three bolts. You won’t be able to communicate with your belayer beyond this point due to the thundering noise from the falls. As the waterfall rumbles past you on the right, continue up to a ledge and past the 8th pitch belay on easy, but loose and unprotected, shale to the 9th pitch belay on the next ledge up.

""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
