Frieda's Flake, 5.9 [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Frieda's Flake, 5.9
1st Pitch- 150’- 5.9/ This is one of the better chimney pitches at Red Rocks. A beautifully varnished corner is formed inside the chimney requiring mostly stemming moves. The cruxes are several moves at the grade to overcome small roof problems. The pro is plentiful and the rock solid. Eventually you get to a true parallel chimney slot. Exit the chimney at this point by climbing up and left onto the face of the flake. Continue up a few feet to a nice belay ledge and build an easy station into a solid crack.

""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
