Whatever Happens, Happens, 5.9 [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Whatever Happens, Happens, 5.9
Part of a collection of photos detailing one of the best sport routes at Prophesy.
  • Whatever Happens… Happens – 90’- 5.9/
  • Surprisingly nice route. I had done the Roofs of Jericho two days earlier and looked over at this route and thought it was another soft rating by Todd on Prophesy. But it is a long steep route that gives you two 5.9 moves towards the finish, both kind of overhanging type stuff where you have to trust heavily on some precarious varnish. Although it is well bolted, a fall on this kind of stuff will take some skin with it. This is a long route moving over the left hand side of the arch to a rap chain. The rap below the arch is not for this route. 11 bolts to anchor. I took this photo after I led it from belaying below Roofs of Jericho, May, 2007, Prophesy Wall

    Probably is, I was belaying....most photos submitted by me are beta related, thus I am doing two things at once. Regarding sharpness, the rock is a hell of a lot sharper than that ladder on your profile page...a leader fall on this pitch will rip your fingers open (classic route though, not that you were looking for that=no ladders)....cheers

    His profile pic is a little out of focus as well. Many of my pics are lacking in one way or another too!

    Cheers Dow, great photo to me!

    ""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
