Din valea Costilei se urca pe o rampa de iarba si stanca pana pe o branita de iarba. Cam 35m.
Lungimea 1: Incepe cu o fisura oblic stanga care surplombeaza la inceput. Se continua pe fisura pana cand aceasta se termina pe o fata verticala, deasupra careia se prinde o alta fisura pana in regrupare. Traseul este sigur. (reparat 2001, cu doua spituri in regrupari, si spituri pe traseu). Regrupare pe fata in ham.
Lungimea 2: Pe o fisura in sus, apoi traversare stanga pe o fata pana la o fisura verticala, care se urca si apoi se treaverseaza dreapta pana in regrupare, tot pe o fata in ham, la baza unei arcade.
Lungimea 3: Pleaca in sus pana sub arcada, traverseaza catre stanga pe sub ea si in partea stanga o trece direct. Se iese pe iarba si se regrupeaza pe o brana larga (comuna cu iesirea din Tr. Balcoane).
Retragere: In sus pana pe creasta Costila-Galbinele, de unde se face un rapel de 20m. pe partea cealalta.
As a climber sometimes our biggest job is to try to do justice to the amazing stories of our friends and peers. For this piece I worked with our crew at camp4collective.com to tell thenorthface.com athlete Jimmy Chin s jimmychin.com story as he in turn highlights modern day climbing in Yosemite for a National Geographic feature story.
It seemed so serendipitous to be on assignment in a place that we all cut out teeth as adventurers and which also ended up becoming the namesake of our collective!
As always, thanks for tuning in! ~reo
