Sandstone Overcast, 5.9 [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Sandstone Overcast, 5.9
2nd Pitch- 150’- 5.8/ This is another fine pitch although less varnished. Follow the wide crack above the ledge as it arches left and leave it for a straighter line on better rock above, making a bee line for the shallowest section of the long roof line above. As you get right below the roof, the rock becomes really bomber. You can protect the pull with a crack under the roof and make a fun move up and over. Continue up to a small belay stance below the massive roof above. (photos)

""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
