Honeycomb Chimney, 5.9 [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Honeycomb Chimney, 5.9
5th Pitch- 140’- 5.8/ Up and to your left is a squeeze chimney. Move over left and start up this chimney. It is impossible to protect until you jam up and reach a #3 pocket that is pretty damn sturdy. Most pocket cam placements at Red Rocks are questionable at best, but this is probably as good as they get. Then back out of the squeeze and reach up to your left (east) for a bomber hold. Use this to reposition yourself on the right face. Continue up, dragging the rope along through another chimney of sorts until you climb through a small hole. Belay on top of this hole with some trees. The only 5.8 moves involved the squeeze chimney section.

""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
