Starting at 8:00 a.m. is uncivilized and you are a barbarian.

Squiddo; We will be working on new routes at a new area.
We have thought of starting earlier, but I guess we have gotten a bit soft.

But what are you going to do on Sunday... you know, you birthday ???
Sorry, I'll be in Yosemite. It's the last weekend before bird closure to lots of areas and I got a rare partner offer. Regardless, I thought you might want to spend the day at your favorite place with your favorite people. Masters of Mud, if you see Mr. Mud on Sunday, don't forget to tease him about his young age!

Have fun- just had a great weekend last. Mr. mud....36?

35, yeah something like that.
Will have to get on Ranger Bolts.
I will probably stop at the Mexican place in Tres Pinos for dinner and a beer if anyone is interested.

Nice- love to get out again with you all and as always to share food and grog. I'll be MTB Saturday.

I'm confused - isn't voyeuring better at night in the suburban areas when lights are on and curtains/blinds are open?
Exactly what kind of a peeper are you?
What's your next route name? Pervs Perch?
Can you just post pictures so I can live vicariously?

We stopped there Monday night. I have been there before and it was good but Monday the service was really bad and some of the food and drinks were sub par - Plus I swear they raised their prices.
Maybe next time stick with a bottle of beer and a burrito - pretty hard for them to screw that up - just be ready to die of old age waiting for it and take your own water so you don't die of thirst first.
We need to come up and check out your new routes and vice versa. Wait until you see the three star 25 foot high pinnacles I climbed and named up past Kat Pinnacle - you are going to be IMPRESSED ;D

Looks like he is taking care of business.

Yeah, you do not go there for the service. I like it for the casual atmosphere and down home feel. I typically do bring my own water in there. super burrito and negro modelo is the way to go.
-
I guess we have to start small?

mini me?

Lol clink I missed that, more in the first picture

is there a route height rule?
I think we need a ruling from the Guide Book author.
-
is there a route height rule?
Yes. If you are not 6 feet tall and over 50 - you can't climb my routes! ;D
I told Brad he could count them as routes or reject them. I don't care.
They are independent summits and there is no easy way to the top.
They are both 5th class and there is another one down by Pinky with the same qualities.
I free soloed them all and then did a one bolt route on the harder side of Prednisone.
Many of the old routes nearby are just as short or shorter - Toilet Seat, Nip and Tuck, Teeter Tower.
Teeny Tiny Towers show evidence of being climbed before. I swear there is a piton scar in the crack.
They were all fun and to me just as valid as other nearby routes.

Did you see Dee Schneider in the can? :yikes:
We found a few others Tacquerias on the main drag/downtown in Hollister. Alternatives to the overcrowded Super Diarrhea. Couple of mom and pop places looked promising

On Sat?

The Richards guide had a height requirement.
5th class or 4th even, leave in, if its got some feature to it.

Pluto got kicked out.
JC KC and I did a short climb on Pipsqueak(N. side) that we call Munchkin. It is the shortest and most direct way to the top and the last climbed. 5.8 or so boulder moves to surmount the slightly undercut start and then a ladder on solid holds protruding out of the moss. We chose not to put a bolt on it and according to my rules it therefore does not exist except to us.
I prefer to keep Munchkin that way and am tempted, at times, to restore a few small routes that were bolted after first being climbed without pro to their original state of ascent, sans bolts and bouldering pad. Live and learn.
Last week's 50-70 ft ladders of solid and at times Portentesque holds, sweet pieces of low hanging fruit goes to show that the Pinns will have discoveries for many decades to come. JC and I had a fun few hours recently exploring up a corridor that has not a single known route in it. :) I claim the FMA (First Mental Ascent) of a few lines.

I kind of like the 30 foot rule. Forgot where that first came into play. There will always be exceptions but that is my general guideline.
That looks like a cool area. Has been a good year with some good routes going up on unclimbed formations and in unclimbed areas.
-
The "ten meter rule" is interesting, but how does it apply to the pinnacle that J.C. is sitting on in the photo he posted above? The uphill side of the pinnacle is what 25 - 28 feet? That's less than ten meters. But the downhill side is more like 60 feet high.
There are no routes on the long side (at least yet), but there are two shorter climbs to the formation's summit.

I want to watch you climb Notch-O Libre and see your big grin when you find the surprises ;D
-
50 to 60 is a notable summit and these have been known to have an easy side. Does the tall side look climbable?

Oh yes. Including an interesting offwidth crack/face climbing combo.

This must be the most desirable line. Does it look kind of hard?
-

It's certainly less than vertical; low angle even. But like any wide crack it would be physical. And then some face climbing would be needed to top out. This would be on the formation's north side too, so the rock might be pretty good.
I think we should get beanolar to do the FA since she's now a proven wide-crack leader ;)
-

It's funny you say that because the rock on my one bolt route was surprisingly good. The summit rock is a different story.
The natural line I've eyed on the downhill side starts with a funky off width almost chimney-like slot thingy that looks like it might spit you off followed by a low angle slab and another crack up high to finish. The bottom part looks hard to me. The rest might go fairly easy. Never can tell until you get on it. Maybe clink will TR it :yesnod: :nonod: :ihih:

I can help you grid bolt it!!!
A route every 5 feet. Bolts every...there was an algorithm.....6ft 1st, 5 ft 2nd.....6ft 3rd, maybe 7ft 4th.
Just let me know where. I'll install the bolts. You come back and voila, the area is ready to be climbed.
Deal?
Yes, there's only 1 DES, thankfully.

No way, it will go to his head... :o

So I can get the first "Ass Sent"? Who is going to do the FA after it's TRed?
-
DESturbed, you heading to the east side mañana?
not sure where Voyeur is, but I'll be leaving the cruz around 10, w a strong partner....maybe meet in the lot at the end of the day for a beer, probably hitting up the usual suspects....perhaps looking for shade.....

Yes, will be on the East Side typically get there a little after 7. Voyeur is easy to get to, from the East Side Parking lot head up the High Peaks Trail and just before the first tunnel there is a large formation on the left about 40 feet from the trail. We will be back there bolting so you should be able to hear us and most likely will be able to see our packs. Actually you turn left where there is an oak tree in the middle of the trail.
It is shady and if you want to get on the 10c we could use feed back on the rating. There is also a 2 pitch (100' each) 5.7 that goes to a summit. I will have my rack if you need gear.
If we do not see you up there will look for you in the parking lot. We usually come down with the sun.
Cheers

Likewise. Happy Birthday!

I dare not repeat much of the banter from this weekend but JC and Brad came up with great assessments of each other ;D
KC and Tricia lit it up with enthusiasm on sweet rock. The summit block with it's crazy holds was a treat!
