Cave Route, 5.7

[ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]

Cave Route, 5.7-

My 2nd run up this route in the past two months, just a classic trad lead. Everybody concurs, more of a 5.8-5.9 to be sure. I guess this common route was used in one of my favorite movies and what many consider the first real climbing movie, “The Eiger Sanction”. This route ascends the obvious right-facing corner on the far left side of the wall. Off width to hand and fist crack to the cave above and bolt belay. Can use your #4 BD on the lower section. Despite what the Falcon Guide suggests, you can rap the route. Cerberus Gendarme, Zion National Park, May, 2007

""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
