Pitch Five
The ridge above on pitch five was broad and gently rounded. The route possibilities seemed infinite--you could probably make it up this part just about anywhere you wanted. Very different indeed from the things we had just climbed in the Bugaboos!
Attempting not to be overwhelmed by
the over-featured rock, I just headed
upward and kept moving. I tried to not analyze things too much (I know,
that's hard to believe) and just followed my instincts onward. While the
rock quality wasn't that great at times, the sense of adventure and just going
for it were very pleasing indeed.!
