Low Mountain: L'Echo des Montagnes: pitch 5

Tom is climbing the fifth pitch of L'echo des Montagnes on Low Mountain. It's rated 5.8 but there can't be more than 3 5.8 moves. Most of the route is pretty easy and way overbolted, but there is good exposure, especially at the beginning of the 5th pitch. The route traces the western arete and is well shaded all morning and well into the afternoon so it is perfect for a long easy climb on a hot day. This route is worth doing if only for the great views of the river rafters and the sweet 50m free rappel which ends at a cave that cuts through the entire mountain.
