that's a nice shot of Aaron. all that pro hanging off the harness and nothing but one piece placed in the crack? hmmmm. looks like some nice chunky climbing. wish i was cool enough to post pictures...

Nice bumping into you kids yesterday. Watching you guys on Toogs looked like fun. I have yet to do a route there. Looks like it its a perfect spot to spectate a Cuidado! ascent.

Hey man! No idea you were a fellow Mud n Crudder. 8)
Great day out there. You two were making your routes look easy but I know better.
First spotted you when she was leading something on Flumes. Which one was that? Looked sweet-
That was my first up close look at Balconies...got me salivating...

No idea...

She took the lead on Rebecca's Sailing @ the flumes. She also tried to lead Jumangi. That route seems harder every time I do it. Trying to get her comfy on the sharp end again. She absolutely cruised up Conduit to the Cosmos' first pitch. Very proud.
The Balconies is, in my opinion, the best climbing area at the Pinnacles. Lava Falls, as I'm sure most here would agree, is a must do. Tie into the Sharp End of the rope. Go wild and take chances, 'Cause what else are you gonna do?

for me? cry like a small child
-
I whine like a two year old that doesn't want to get a shot. I HAAAAATE the sharp end; that's the reason why I spend so much time there. I have to admit to my self that I am intrinsically a coward at my base level, and then adjust my actions constantly to become more than that. But the whining and crying is an absolute.
-
you should have heard me a few weeks back leading Dragonfly onsight - KC and I will jokingly refer to it as Drama Queen Dome until i go back and lead it again sans drama...

is JC w KC redux one or two people?

I think JC does the posting. It'd be fun though to hear from KC now and then (especially if she disagreed with JC).
I'm tired of hearing about all the fun at Pinns. I got stuck yesterday climbing on granite. I finished the day by doing a first ascent of an offwidth crack with a friend of mine from Santa Cruz. The crack was beautiful and fierce (it was only 5.10b, but that is pretty stiff for offwidth). Hand/fist stacks were the order of the day. The rock was rough but clean granite. Pretty damn physical for 30 feet.
The bad part was that I had to follow since he'd found the crack and cleaned it beautifully.
The good news is that he had yet another good name for an offwidth crack: "Suppuration Anxiety."
My back is still oozing.

This post made me start out jealous and end up happy to not to be part of it. Ever since I got shut down on Traveler's Buttress and then left streaks of blood through my ripped pants on Entrance Exam both in the same month, I've hated both Chimneys and Offwidths ever since.
Thin fingers or beak seams for me.
-
Actually, my back only has a few scrapes and some rash. But it sounded better that way.
I was however breathing pretty hard by the time I finished. Steve was too when he finished.
There are some very sweet finger cracks up here that you might like to check out - but, unfortunately, no crowds to stand in line behind and no law enforcement to watch where you park (the latter bit of slander is directed at certain national parks in the Sierra, and at our favorite national monument).

But the whining and crying is an absolute.
Then it sounds like I'm doing just fine! Did a fair amount of that yesterday while in a spot of bother. Most frightened I've been on the rocks so far.
KY - those routes sound/look amazing and are certainly on my list!

I only do what the voices in my head tell me to do...

i am highly allergic to OW's...love the acronym though - so appropriate...

We are two people - I've just been reading the posts and not making any comments, but I guess it's time to start .....

I just carry the pro because it makes me look cool and chicks dig it!
-
Yep - I'll follow a nice rack (almost) anywhere. :-*

i dunno dood - it might be the soul patch...
as far as actually placing some of that pro - after last Saturday on the linkup your headspace was probably "when in doubt run it out" - like there was any other choice!

My one and only "Ouching" His images still crack me up.

This is NOT Crux.
Obvious from the distinct lack of wine barrels.

;D
Whoa, just made me think of a good route name (not for any particular reason, just thinking of grapes)...
Right next to a route name "Fine Dining"...
"Vine Whining"
