Crashed the mountain bike into a pile of rocks and cracked a couple of ribs.
-
Bummer and ouch!
I cracked a rib walking the wrong way into the automatic door at the Hollister Nob Hill. Which just shows the path of greater safety is using a drive through and buying at Starbucks or McDonald’s. It hurt for way to long.
So what was the rating of the route you were down riding? 5.7?
-

Yeah, an accident. Some people will do ANYTHING to get out of the October Pinnacles trip. You better be there, healed and ready to climb.
-
Heal up!
-
I would have gone headfirst, but I just got a new helmet because my other two had cracks. No way will I be climbing in October; it takes two weeks just to get to the point where it is not too painful to get out of bed. Couple of years ago when I did this to the other side of my ribcage I re-injured after 5 weeks when I gently picked up a ladder to clean the gutters. That lead to another two months of down time. Right now, coughing sucks, lifting my arm over my head is not an enjoyable event, just driving down the road is uncomfortable.
The route was definitely 5.7 until the end
-
^^^
That does not sound fun dude.
Sending healing thoughts your way.
-
Clink, I think you are the only person I know that could crack a rib walking through a door. That is an accomplishment.
Cannot start the lawnmower and I need to clean the gutters. Ugh
-

He missed the sign that said "Meanderthals use service entrance"
-
That sucks. From what I can gather you were gearing up. I know that has to be a bummer but...we are camping and climbing in Oct. As they say on The Price is Right "Mr. Mud Come on Down"
-
If I come down, I will not be able to climb. I am just now getting to where I can breathe comfortably although I cannot take a deep breath. What my doctor said should make Brad happy, told me I should think about doing other things, lol.

Lemme guess: you laughed so hard at this outrageous advice that... that's how you learned that it hurts to laugh with a broken rib?

If you are not crashing you are not riding hard enough.
Heal up buddy!!
Plus by the time the rain stops up
There in June you will be all healed up.
-
What is the plan for October now? I was so looking forward to a tickle contest with Mud, it looks like that ain't happening now.
Is Brad offerring massages again in his van? Is Noal going to bellydance by the fire? Aaron and Dina doing a drum circle? Bob bringing his big south county sausage? Raccoon pit barbecue?
Other than a semi-'ntelligent conversation with the usual, what's the plan, climbing?
-
What is the plan for October now?
We have two camp sites. No group site. That means not a mega big gathering like the last M.O.M.
Last I heard from Brad he said a lot of people would like to camp. I will leave the management of an attendance list to him. I plan onl sleeping in my vehicle so that frees up one tent.
-
And... be warned if you bring children I will tell them there is no Santa Claus, no Easter Bunny, and no Tooth Fairy.
-
My grandchildren may bite, just warning everyone. :)
There is a sign at the local market that says “Unattended children will be given an espresso and a free puppy “
-
I am half joking. Santa Claus might be enough.
Should get there on Friday. Plan on staying until Sunday. We will go climbing.
-

Dude, I was drinking will all three last night, I swear!
-
What!? You were in the Tenderloin and didn't call me?
-
;D :-* >:D ^-^

This is turning out to be one of the worst rib injuries I have had and there have been a few. Still very sore, when laying down and trying to roll over I get a crunching sound. I get this at other times as well, have to move very carefully. When I crashed, I was laying there thinking, this is going to hurt, I had no idea. Maybe Brad is right, but that just cannot be.
-
Shit! Have you had an X-ray?
Do you eat crackers in bed?
-
Went to the see the doctor, the doctor asked if I had blood in my urine. Never asked me anything else or did any kind of exam. Seemed super interested in getting me scheduled for a proctology exam.
-
Ouch. Just say no to crack.

I started wearing pants again because of the advancements in asshole recognition tracking software.

Making me laugh is not nice

Cheeky, Clink, very cheeky.

Waldo, my experiment of gaining weight and expanding my stomach dimensions so that I would no longer have to wear a belt failed. Gravity and the development of a taper from my stomach to my hips defeated the pure friction of the tightened waistline due to my stomach expansion. It ended up working only if I stood completely still, movement brought the whole venture down. I am going to have to suspend my research.

Suspenders work for me, too.

Campfires allowed? S’mores or less?

Looks like the fire danger is still at High. No campfire.

Been off the forum for a long time, and look what I missed! Not good. At least, you are on the mend now...
Stay clear of those black diamond trails!
-
But those are the fun ones.

Well it's Thanksgiving and both Vicki and I have a cold (multiple negative covid tests). Our trip south to her sister's house got cancelled for obvious reasons. So, damn.
At least the forced "rest" day allowed a coffee-fueled reading of Accidents in North American Climbing this morning.
Damn, people can screw up in soooo many ways! And nature can just act... whenever it wants, and there you are.
I really don't like reading this annual unless I know I won't be climbing for a while.
-
I hear that, used to read those reports in my early years of climbing and took serious mental note of both potential for screwing up and getting in the way of nature happening. A lot of prudence and a bit of luck later, still typing.
Damn those colds :imsad:

How goes the recovery mud?

How goes the recovery mud?
He should be ready by spring, which is June up there. Or is spring August up there?
The question is when will he be ready for Portent....

Much better, I have started to work out. Cold, wet winter up here
-

Glad to hear that! I'm going to start working out tomorrow, as usual.

This last storm handed us our asses on Eureka Canyon, never seen the water so high in my time living there. The worst, according to the old time residents was the 82-83 season.
-
Klink, do you need a snorkel?
Yeah, I miss that part of living in SC in the winter.....cheap entertainment....rivers over flowing, boats getting beached, anchovies invading the harbor.
I took my boys out last Saturday late evening to help give them an education on what it's like when the weather is biblical.
Found some quality trouble.....

The USGS made a video documenting that season called "Riding the Storm". I used to show it in my geology classes for the landslide portion of the class. CA's two biggest hazards are earthquakes and landslides.
18,000 landslides documented that season.
Here is a link. You can download the movie for free (in your copious spare time).

One big sign that I'm on the far side of the climbing hill is that I've ceased reading "Accidents in North American Climbing.

Well hang on, it looks like you have more on the way

I definitely think of you on the Far Side waldo.
You've got the sense of humor, writing chops and maybe? artistic talent to pick up where Larson left off.
EDIT - whoops - didn't realize Larson is back on the scene as of 2020. I wonder if he could use the Pinnacles crew for fodder?
Seems like a pretty easy task :out: :prrr:

Need to see about rafting the creek from in the monument...

JC, you like somebody tossed your unicycle into a wood chipper, then stole your cigar and the squirrel you were going to cook for dinner. :)

Needs a hair cut!

There’s is a handsome man one razor away there, but I understand, the strop strap broke and needs mend’n.

Beat ya to it about a week ago.
I'd had it with the scraggle seeing as about half my hair had fallen out over the last year
I took that while Kat was in KY in August and I was home alone.
Meant to post it back then but the mood came and went.
-
Mullet?
-
Nope.
I thought about it but what was left had become so scraggly/thin that it just needed to go.
#7 clippers on the sides and back with just an inch or so on top.
My brother said I haven't had it this short since I was 10 and suggested some shoe polish for my beard.
Every once in a while I still reach up and push back through what's left wondering where my ponytail went.

Wow, John. Looking damn good there!
You're missing a lot of water out here. Although I doubt you're missing it.

Lean and mean, JC — and still a lot more than I've got!
-
JC, you can still get extensions for the back.
Just saying....
-
Has a single person climbed at Pinnacles this year? I had to shave too. This is out of hand.
-
Tempted to head down there with drysuit!!
Also I think we should erect a shelter over POD.
Some PVC. Blue tarps…propane heater.
-
Know of any arks for sale?
-
Latest breaking news - The park is CLOSED due to HISTORIC water levels.
Welcome to the New Idiocracy.
Well...at this point it's not really new.
Feed the beast.
-
Damn!
-
No shelter over POD it needs all the rain it can get to wash off decades of chalk build up
-

Ugh, here we go again. Total repeat of 1997 and it's 101 year flood that took out the sacred West Side Campground.
"Nope can't put the campground back in, it's in a 101 year flood plain"...
At least the East side had a new bridge put in after the 1997 .
Be curious to see "Now What has been washed out"....
I still think a few tarps over POD would work.....
-
I heard that the monolith has started to lean. Now POD is definitely not a 10d.
-
If the rating gets harder or softer, the name should be changed.
-
Don’t we wish!
At castle I swear after 30yrs many of the holds have been worsen down.
Mr Muds fault!!! His grip of steel.
-

If gets harder it might have be Pre Orgasmic.

So PO as an abbreviation would be assumed to be Poison Oak, how 'bout BC?

Your timing is a bit off. Doesn't this happen every year on April 1st?

Geoff went to New Zealand to visit his daughter and family. Trying to keep up with her on the mountain bike he managed to get 20 stitches in his leg. Nothing cracked or broken, so he was back out 2 days later. It’s remarkable that he has survived this long with a kiwi sized brain rattling around in his skull.
