Lotus Flower - Multi-Pitch Climbing in the Yukon

The Lotus Flower Tower is located in the "Cirque of the Unclimbables". The elegance of this six hundred meter arrow of sheer granite is equalled only by the beauty of climbing on it.

Possibly the most beautiful video I've seen on the Sift. Thank you.

Maybe I'll get my kletterschuhe back out this summer. I know I need a new harness. I'm a fat cat now. I might want to switch back to 11mm lead rope, for that matter.

Here's a great topo of the route. I'll take the first and fourth pitch, we can swap around on the chimney. Starting out on a 5.9 layback in the morning is rough, but I'll do it if I can take the finish! Who's game?

Oh, and somebody else has to do the roof.

Some of those camera angles even gave me a bit of anxiety. I can't understand how you can be comfortable being up that high schmawy.

I once hiked to the very first base camp of the Matterhorn and I just about crapped myself a few times.

It takes a long time, but after a while you trust your gear, you trust yourself. But even then most climbers get that butt-pucker of terror now and again. Eventually you get to the point that you can enjoy looking down on the back of birds in flight. Spending a night out on a big wall is not something you'll forget. The internet likes to use the work 'epic' but doesn't have much understanding of it's real meaning most of the time.

When I was younger I spent a few days at The Maze in Southern Utah. After slipping and nearly going over the edge I never was the same about heights. Roped I was pretty good, but without some sort of belay I just froze.

One and a half years ago my vestibular system was poisoned by prescription drugs. I now have no inner ear gyroscope, so to speak. I guess I'll never be able to climb again, but I can dream.

This was truly awesome.

I'm in Schmawy! Although a 10c dirty roof day 2 would suck. That 5.7 chimney would rock so hard... I agree with Beth though, climbing in the cold blows, and I'm still not 100% on trad climbing
