Pine Valley Peak, 5.5 [ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Pine Valley Peak, 5.5
Continue up easy ground protecting via another bush (I trust the bushes more than the rock here) and gain the left side of a chimney. Again, nothing but compacted sand, so be light footed as you ascend the left side of this chimney and then traverse back left across a slab and move up right past a large tree with a new rap sling (we placed in 2007). I knocked a decent part of this chimney off without full body weight. Take care on this short section. Continue up to even a larger tree to bring up the 2nd on belay. Pine Valley Peak, Zion National Park, May, 2007

This looks like a great free solo route!

...have to give Courtney credit for the suggestion, nobody goes up it, pretty obscure objective even though it is close to the road but it was fun. The weird thing looking back at these photos was the weather...Stacy and I are constantly scoping out the shady routes as it nears 100F every single day (headed to Crawdad today for the first time!) but climb a little elevation on the right day and the weather is vastly different. Cheers.

""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
