Second Corner [ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Second Corner
Second Corner-5.7, B Slab, Wasootch Slabs, Kananaskis Country, Canadian Rockies. This is the route that divides B Slab in two and gets a lot of attention. So much so, that it has become quite polished. I watched a pretty good climber fall on it repeatedly. I can’t say I had the same difficulty however, it is still a 5.7. It protects well with multiple cams and/or nuts. Of course it is less polished the further up you go. The hands get a little thin for a 5.7 towards the top and makes beginners think about their legs more which makes it a good teaching route. The rap station is off to the right as you near the top of the corner. This is a full length corner, but you will move to the outside edge a time or two during the 2nd half.

""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
