Ginger Cracks, pitch one.
If you like me have a sound respect for loose
rock, especially teetering stacks of immense sandstone flakes defying
obvious gravitational physics, then you might approach this one
with some trepidation.
As it turns out all these cubic yards of old seabed may just stay
in place for a while yet.
And the crux is down below, anyway, right off the deck in that striking
downward flaring OW.
BTW, my aforementioned focus on potential
looseness stems back to an episode in the Alps 20 years ago, during
which some hurtling flakes of granite removed one of my fingers.
Among other things.
On
to the second pitch.
