West Temple, III, 5.8

[ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]

Eventually you will find yourself descending to another deep notch. This descent goes right and utilizes a tall mature tree for the final step or two to the ground (photo). Regain lost ground to the left of the ridge. Again you will find a ridge that goes from scrambling to hiking back to scrambling and forms a staircase of sorts to the base of the red colored sandstone and crux of the route.
Southwest Ridge, West Temple, III, 5.8, Zion National Park, April, 2007

West Temple Ridge

Voted 10/10

Nice photo Dow. I remember this section. Just before the downclimb into the pine tree!
Great perspective of the ridge and short climb ahead!

""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
