Sundog, 5.10a [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Sundog, 5.10a
8th Pitch- 130’- 5.9/ A fun full on trad pitch, but soft for the grade (felt more like 5.8) that runs up the right facing crack and then back left and straight up a seperate fun crack. This is what Supertopo.com recommended the #5 and #6 camelots for, but I found I could sufficiently protect the somewhat solid moves with a #4 and #3. Don’t proceed to far. Once you get over the vertical, the ground eases, but the crack continues for quite a distance. As soon as you reach easy ground, look left for the last fixed station versus continuing above.

""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
