Guinness Gully, WI 4 [ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Guinness Gully, WI 4
1st Pitch-30m/ In December, 2006 this pitch had some minor mushrooming effect going on. We started and kept right. This is a classic WI 4 pitch, nice and vertical, but not overwhelming to make screw placements. Once you near the top, venture left to the trees to find a belay station in place or make your own. Place one screw at the top for a directional for the 2nd. Rock flanks climbers right and makes for an aesthetic pitch. The views over the valley below and down the valley leading to Emerald Lake help keep you warm.

""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
