Big Step [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Big Step
1st Pitch-25m-5.7/ The first pitch runs left of the arête allowing you to protect in a flake approximately 10m high, then goes straight up another 10m to an alcove that you can set a #3 Camelot in or save your Camelot and swing out to the arête to clip a piton. Continue straight up to the top of the pillar to a flat belay stance with two pins up high and a crack at eye level that takes a #2 Camelot. There are also rap slings (2007) on a chock stone at this location. I placed one piece of pro and clipped one piton on this pitch.

""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
