Post by: clink on June 05, 2017, 05:36:45 AM: Only a Meanderthal would free solo at Pinnacles. (or repeat the 30 worst rotten runouts)

I think the route would have to be Machete Direct.

Personally I would rather unicycle down p4 of Old Original.

Post by: F4? on June 05, 2017, 03:01:39 PM: I say solo Bandits in Bondage, bottom to top. Aid section can be overcome with climbing holds clipped into the bolts.

Muchshitty Direct would be cool as well.

After some more thought - How about Cuidado? Wouldn't that be more appropriate?

Title: Re: Who will free solo machete?
Post by: F4? on July 31, 2017, 07:34:01 PM: Yes Joe qualifies for the 1st shirtless ascent.
what's he doing soling?

1st he has to bike to the pinnacles and now he has to solo.

Where does he stop?
Title: Re: Who will free solo machete?
Post by: mynameismud on August 01, 2017, 11:13:29 AM: At the bar?

Title: Re: Who will free solo machete?
Post by: F4? on August 01, 2017, 06:47:21 PM: I hope he stops at the bar when done.

Waldo, I haven't seen your picnic tables move but I have seen you do the one-handed Tecate sit start off the West Side Parking lot asphalt few times.
