Bass Buttress Direct, II, 5.7 [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Bass Buttress Direct, II, 5.7
li>1st Pitch-20m-5.6/ Climb the yellowish crumbly rock to the left of the corner until you can work back into the corner and place some gear and head for a piton/threaded webbing belay. Obviously I contemplated combining these first two pitches, but I believe the 2nd one to be slightly more than 40m, so I am not sure that would be a good idea unless you already communicated a simul-climb with the belayer.

""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
