Bass Buttress Direct, II, 5.7 [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Bass Buttress Direct, II, 5.7
  • 10th Pitch-50m-5.6/
  • Interesting pitch with several aid ropes towards the top on water worn runnel. Real easy climbing and easy pro up to the steeper water worn area. You can ascend the last third of the pitch without using the aid, but it makes for good pro to clip into. Stem and climb up and over onto the summit plateau. Use a large crack in the wall ahead on the plateau to bring up the 2nd. If you try to set something above the route, you will drop debris on the 2nd.

    ""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
