Lonely Vigil, 5.10a [ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Lonely Vigil, 5.10a
2nd Pitch- 150’- 5.10a/I believe this to be one of the better pitches at the grade in or around the desert towers of Moab. Continue up great cracks on the left side until easier terrain forces you right. Eventually stem out, even before you get to the horizontal break on the right side which narrows the box. Stem boxes like this always looks wider than they really are. Small wires are the pro of choice through this section. You will also find one bolt (2009) on the left side. Eventually make a mantle move out left to a fixed belay on a comfortable ledge that gives you a river view to boot.
Lonely Vigil, 5.10a, 4 Pitches, Lighthouse Tower, River Road, Moab, UT, March, 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
