Road to the Sun, 5.8

[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]

Road to the Sun- 50’- 5.8/
The best route for “its grade” at Crawdad so far for me (2007). Sustained 5.8 that keeps you on your toes to the right of the buttress through five bolts to anchors. Towards the top, stay left up edges versus getting sucked into the mini chimney to the right if you want to finish with form.
Sunrise Buttress Wall, Crawdad Canyon (yes there are a ton of crawdads stuck in the middle of the Utah Desert), Veyo, UT, 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
