Sunflower, 5.9 [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Sunflower, 5.9
6th Pitch- 190’- 5.8/ One of several very long pitches of the day. Starts out on an easy 5.8 varnished right facing corner directly above and turns into a crack that takes smaller gear which eventually peters out onto the face leaving you to wonder where the hidden station is as you pass a bolt and near the end of your rope. It requires an aggressive traverse left on suspect holds into a shallow scoop directly below the first bolt of pitch 7. This will be a hanging belay.
Beulah's Book-Sunflower, 5.9, 8 Pitches, Solar Slab Area, Oak Creek Canyon, Red Rocks, March, 2008

""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
