Cory's Groove [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Cory's Groove
font size=2>9th Pitch- 30m- 5.9/ Have the belayer convert the 2nd and/or 3rd onto his/her harness and efficiently scramble on loose ground to the base of the best pitch of the route (photos) and set up a tree belay here. The best pitch of the climb is a vertical crack/corner that takes gear from bottom to top and is on a small wall detached from the main wall you have been climbing. You still have one bolt low and three high where the crack gets dirty. Place several small-medium nuts and several cams. Take a #4 with you if you have it to protect a bad jug you have to pull on. Real aesthetic, sustained and enjoyable pitch.
Cory's Groove, 5.9, 9 Pitches, Mount Cory, Banff National Park, August, 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
