Honeycomb Chimney, 5.9 [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Honeycomb Chimney, 5.9
4th Pitch- 100’- 5.7/ This is the 2nd best pitch of the route and its namesake, a really funky deep chimney with tons of “varnished pot holes” to grab onto. This chimney also has several cracks running up it to place gear in. The options for climbing stance and holds are numerous. It is an easy, but vertical and fun pitch. You basically climb 100’ up this chimney and at the top have a decent block to sling for the belay.

""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
