Consolation, 5.8 [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Consolation, 5.8
3rd Pitch- 20m- 5.6/ The Ghost Rock guide book is misleading here. It tells you to move up into the open book as though you belayed lower than makes sense in my opinion. Therefore I climbed the 2nd pitch of Wully Sport, which is a fantastic 5.9 trad pitch by the way. Up the right facing corner, over a roof and up to a fixed station. I advise adding this pitch to the route, you will not regret it. I rappelled back down and went out left over blocky, but firm, terrain to a comfortable ledge with a fixed station as I recall.

""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
