Consolation, 5.8 [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Consolation, 5.8
4th Pitch- 30m- 5.8/ We no doubt were off route again (routes criss cross all over the place), but found a sport pitch that took off back right into a large gully system. My partner, on 2nd, thought this pitch might be 5.9, but I led it and did not think it was difficult enough to warrant not using it with this route. Whatever section through here the guide book references, we sure did not follow. I advise utilizing this pitch as this was a well protected and fun portion of the climb anyway. Follow the bolts up and right until you can finish by scrambling all the way back right to the right end of the huge overhang above.

""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
