Homage to the Spider, III, 5.10a
6th Pitch- 55m- 5.9/ In my opinion, this is the best pitch of the route. Move right from the belay into the tall continuous corner. This pitch pretty much throws just about everything out there similar to pitch 2 except not so wet or slimy inside. Real fun and sustained protected climbing leads to a deep chimney section. Pull the roof above via two decent pitons (2008). It is a grovel if you stay inside, but if you are trusting of the rock at this point, you can stem further out for less of a squeeze. Once on top of this feature, you are treated to the “medieval village alleyway” as it is described in Sean’s book (photo). This is quite a spectacular setting on top of one of the finer mountains in the Canadian Rockies.

""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
