Silver Ghost, 5.10a [ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Silver Ghost, 5.10a
1st Pitch- 55m- 5.10a/ One can have a difficult time determining which corner to start climbing in. Both choices contain loose and dirty rock. The left option is the appropriate corner. You won’t be able to see two bolts protecting a 5.10a left traverse until you are practically right on them, so keep your eyes open out left. The traverse takes you out of the corner on textured limestone via face climbing. Angle up left as the climbing gets tougher through two more bolts and some scree ledges above. Stay right and ascend another short corner of sorts easier than 5.10. My description makes this first pitch considerably longer than the guide book version which breaks it up differently. Set up a gear belay on a ledge above the corner.

""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
