Waiparous Tower, 5.8 [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Waiparous Tower, 5.8
1st Pitch- 50m- 5.8/ The crux move of the route will be some off-width not far off the ground in a wide crack that heads up from a gully to the south of Waiparous Tower. There are two cracks on the south end, head up the right, more obvious, one placing larger gear. You have to stem out of the crack at one point resembling a little bit of off width climbing. After that the climbing eases up to a ledge. Move right up loose, but easy, ground to an even larger ledge directly below a steep crack. The crack takes a #3 or #4 as I recall along with several pitons (2008) to assist in building 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
