"Courage is a focused 50-foot sport climb at Glen Falls that combines sustained overhanging moves with two distinct finishing variations. Its rhythm challenges endurance while offering moments to regroup mid-route."
Courage at Glen Falls presents a focused test of strength and technique on a single, compelling pitch of overhanging rock. This 50-foot route commands attention from the moment you step onto its face, demanding steady endurance as you push past the fourth bolt. The crux is a calculated challenge, with a brief but well-earned rest waiting between the second and third bolts to catch your breath and recalibrate. From there, the climb offers two viable finish options. The natural line veers left, weaving through solid holds that complement the route’s fluid rhythm. Alternatively, the variation to the right introduces subtle adjustments in body positioning, inviting climbers to explore the intricacies of movement across this compact, sustained wall. The stone itself is grippy yet smooth, overhanging just enough to keep you fully engaged without overwhelming. Glen Falls’ setting enhances the experience—quiet, focused, and away from the chaos of busier crags. This route suits climbers looking to sharpen endurance on sport routes that challenge both body and mind, with bolts that provide consistent protection and reassurance throughout. Plan your climb for cooler parts of the day to avoid sweaty hands on the often sunlit face. Bring tape or extra chalk, as the overhang tests grip, and don’t hesitate to explore both variations to find which feels most natural to your style.
Watch for muscle fatigue on the sustained overhang, and double-check bolts for security before committing to each section. The rest between bolts is brief; remain attentive to foot placements to avoid slipping on smoother holds.
