Stratocaster Wall

[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]

Swedish Erotica- 120- 5.10a/
(photos) This is a
nasty trad route put up in the late 80’s. From what I could tell it rarely sees traffic and for good reason. Swedish Erotica runs up face holds, run out, past two bolts to a curved crack above. The crack has a huge water mark on it and the sandstone is mostly rotten in nature. There is a bail sling and biner on the second bolt which comes in handy. Once you get to the crack and place a piece or two, you don’t feel very warm and fuzzy inside.
Stratocaster Wall, Calico Hills, Red Rocks, January, 2009

""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
