Living on the Edge, 5.10c [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Living on the Edge, 5.10c
2nd Pitch- 80’- 5.10c/ This is definitely the crux pitch of the climb. Some leaders would prefer to bring a few medium cams to help with the first moves from the belay, but these moves are well below the grade of the pitch. The crux of the pitch begins as you pull the roof above sideways to your left on suspect sandy crimps with a bolt for good pro at that juncture. Follow the sandy face trending left all the while. Many times you cannot see the next bolt and the pitch can be hard to follow. Sustained moves continue upward at a leftward angle until you mantel up onto the large sandy belay ledge with a fixed station.

""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
