Here is my stab at it:
1. Lava Falls
2. Little Javelina
3. Wet Kiss
4. Plague
5. ?
-
Erm, it's a national park now, not a monument. ;)
Plague is rated 5.10a, not 5.9... and while I think it's a fun route I don't feel it is at the same star level as the other routes you listed.
Lava Falls, Little Javelina, Wet Kiss - all great routes.
Coyote Ugly would be on my list of top 5.9 routes at Pinnacles too - a spicy lead and fantastic views from the summit.
Lava Falls is my favorite of all those - hard to top the fantastic climbing, length, and exposure on that route.
-
I agree with what is listed maybe add Full Throttle and Rebecca's Sailing.

Flies on a Pile
Up a Crook Without a Paddle
Swept Away
Grin and Bear It

Isn't Flies on a Pile a POS

He's being a contrarian. All four that he listed are very not-so-good routes.
-
Ah yes Rebecca Sailing.
Okay I forgot about that one
+Rebecca Sailing
-Plague
+3 and 4th pitches of SOD
+1st Pitch of Resurrection
+coyote Ugly
Too much trouble to edit on iPhone.

Jesus Factor, are you EVER going to figure out that the site is operating with some problems right now? Has it occurred to you to read what you write to determine whether it posts properly? "We" are working on it, but it's not back up to normal yet (in quotes because I am totally incapable of fixing it, I am just trying to ease the fix along).
-
Got, missed that. Typically, that is my role

Well you missing that is understandable. John has never been anything other than incredibly, and rapidly helpful. Ever.

I want a roll!
Maybe clink will bring me one tomorrow morning and I can ...nope...cannot eat that. Try again :yikes: :nonod: :lol:

Where is the admin?

I get the idea that F4 is super smart and even more bored.
There are a few 5.8s on your list, no 5.10's.
Jorgie's
-
I know, I try!
My inspiration was I lead (clean) Little Javelina on Monday.
It got me marinading about other 5.9s and which is the best or rather 2nd to Lava Falls.
Plus Mr Mud said he would give me $10 to start a thoughtful topic.
I always though Jorges was 10a.
According to the holy book of young, its 5.9.
Imn not going to argue or complain.
Its all good.
Next thread is top 10a routes

Nice job on Little Javelina.
Dances With Warthogs and Swine Flu are really good too.
I thought Jorgies was hard. I got to the piton and choked. I never went back. I could not do Stupendous Man that day either,
This was around the same time I led the new Goat Rock routes - 9 and 10a - upgraded to 10a and 10b.
Where's Waldo is stellar too. I led all of them onsight.
So go figure about Jorgies.

Jorgies involves tricky, semi-liebacking at the crux. It's not a set of moves that are common at Pinnacles.

Is this the same technique that is needed on Why We Play Football?
-
Agree Jorgies Lieback section is no joke.
To me it is the transition from lieback to moving left.
Holds are polished.
Trauma? Fly-bye?
Fun ones as well.

How in hell would I be able to remember such an obscure route done soooo long ago??

I made the mistake of getting on that route in full sun around 10:30 or 11:00 on a warm day. It was the first route of the day (I am always nervous starting out) - so between the heat, the stemming stances to place all the gear and the nerves, I was pretty blasted by the time I got to the crux - then I could not decide how to attack that next section and just burned out (literally).

Old people do not get jokes. Unless they are Dad jokes; those are different.
I missed the typo. It is fixed now.
Remind me to beat you when I see you next.

Jorgie's is more mental than technically hard.

Though seldom done, I've always liked Baile de las Aguilas out Gargoyle way
-
Great Waldo!
Never forget when I was egged on to lead the Jorgies extension.
Good times!

That route scared the crap out of me getting to the first bolt. Goes on the never do again list - but thanks for the reminder.

Translation-My name is Waldo, I occasionally like dancing with Death and when I do drink beer, it's Tecate. Someday my bones will be picked clean by eagles, and I will ever watch your coming and goings.

Excuse us mother for we have sinned. Bob and I put in a top anchor/rappel today that requires a quite awkward start (off the summit and onto the face). Quite awkward, and then down a chimney (which is at least wide enough for the remaining part of the rappel to be comfortable).
-
^^^
And all the while there was available an easy, low-angle start to a rappel that we could have used.
-
Of course, every other possible line of rappel would have dumped the rappel rope and then the rappeling climber directly into poison oak thickets.
But at least it would have been easier to start

Had we done so and if you did not already have an itch for climbing, you would for sure after you unclipped from the rap.

Clink, eagles or beagles, I care not
