no evidence of my glorious efforts were documented.
shame too, not every day you see a grown man cry trying to drill a bolt.
-
Was that snow on the ground? :o
I like your anchor. ;D
-
hail from prior night apparently. it was still there at the end of the day.
A1 cam placement.
-
A1??? In Pinns rock? I'm not spotting you though F4 would;-)
-
totally A1. 2x of the lobes are engaged.
-
Yes.....I can see that F4. My point.....it's Pinns rock. Go ahead and push off though ;D
-
sky diving can be fun!
-
HA, yes feet out like 60 feet of rope and jump!
-
This route is now complete.
It is an Uber classic.
4 bolts! 80 + feet. 2 bolt chain anchor.
UG, did a fine job getting stuff done today. I was skeered. Hung, but lead thru, clean on TR. TR'd a jingus line of loose material on decent substrate left of it, on the prominent rib of rock. New project started. 2 bolts in by UG.
-
New route: Hungry Hungry Hippo 5.8/9?? R
Kudos to Munge for his own drilling efforts, moral support, and for carrying the beer!
Will post my pix as soon as possible.

will not play says it is private video
-
Munge...getting the same error...but thank you for helping me get that line finished. 170' routes at the Pinns are hard to come by and this one was worth the blood, sweat, and slime.
-
So is the route ready to be transferred to the "public" portion of the new routes list? That means it will appear on the sticky on this site.
-
should be fixed now
-
Looks good brothers!!
Nice to see that video, yet knott enuff slander being thrown at the leader.
That other thing will be nice.

Hesitant to publicly announce...there are still some cherries to pick over there. However, since there is only about 10 people active on this forum...
Munge, your thoughts?
I will say that the tentative name for this line is "From Dawn to Tusk" and is prolly 5.8. Munge, do you think we should give it an "R" rating due to the move above the crux bolt? Not hard, but if someone blew it...
-
I highly doubt anyone else will bother with that area. The approach is heinous brush crashing thru tick infested grass and gets sopping wet after the rains, and faces north so in the winter it will be useless.
on the R rating, yes if you think the crux move is only 5.8. maybe after the loose stuff stabilizes a clean stemming solution will go, but I'd let others look at it and make the call.
-
True, true. The approach is heinous. No need for anyone else to go out there that haven't been already. >:D
Brad, you know where the routes are. Have you done the other one Rob and I finished over there yet ("HHH")? I would appreciate your feedback.
-
So you guys finished the Hooked on Munge route?
Nice, 5.8 huh? How many more bolts?
It was a nice place to hang and slander the leader though.
-
2 more drilled this weekend. There were 2 already there to just below the crux. This was before we realized the bottom part of the route should be contiguous with the upper part.
-
Gotcha.
-

So there's more room for routes? Excellent!
Joe, are you up for a new route?
Hey Mr Mud...is your drill available since you don't go much anymore?
-
this is the other route
pinns (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aDutOaxNTU#)
it's a tough job, but someone has to do it.
-
Sweet!
1 more bolt up higher eh?
How was the climbing past the previous highpoint?
Jeff looks wayyyy up there if he ran that out to drill the last bolt!
EFFIN Sweeet.
-
no more bolts at this point on either line. two lines essentially finished they've had an "FA".
I know Jeff is pretty busy lately, so hope he doesn't mind me mentioning it, but the moves on the one you were part of, past that last bolt you did,... they are thought provoking. we both did the move in a different way. I used holds out right.
the upper corner that it goes into is harder IMO. See pic. The bolt is right at the bulge there. then the holds get fewer.
it's mostly good rock. just superficial scale might come off to allow better stemming at that crux. if so, maybe it's easier than I thought it was.
-
Don't mind you mentioning it at all. :)
Yeah, I went straight up over the bolt you placed, Mucci. It was a little committing, but I think that might have been partly due to the fact that I wasn't quite sure what I was grabbing was going to hold. When Munge came up, I remember looking down at him thinking, "WTF is he doing?" but it worked well for him. I think if I tried it his way, it would have been reachy for me. The next bolt I placed above that point is a ways up, but as we expected the ground is pretty easy from there until you get into the upper tier.
The bulge is interesting and didn't go the way I thought it would. Munge said he found a hold I missed though (buried under some moss) so as he said some cleaning up might make a prettier stemming move available (instead of the hand-foot match & pray move I somehow pulled off on the bulge itself).
I personally think it is a good line and it is great when you can pull off a FA on a long route at the Pinns that requires some trad pro placements. Unfortunately (or fortunately?), it probably won't see much traffic... :'(
-
brown lowe tri cam unit! key!
-
Nice gentleman!
Way to take it down, it did look pretty sporty above that bolt I placed, 3-4 moves?
Way to push through it, moss and munge do have ways of sending you to the barnacle party below.
What did you name it, "Mudmen" or "The Chronicles of Munge" , or Hippo Hooker?
I know Uber has a dirty mind, and that SHOULD be put to good use!
Cheers
Mucci
-
lol!!! you have no idea what the name was going to be!!!! hahahaha
-
Sorry to disappoint this time, but I think I want to stick with "From Dawn to Tusk".
However, the bottom portion (where all the moss is) shall forever be known as "The Gherkin Merkin".
-
Nice. More routes. You guys should be able to get the route count up to 1,000
-
"You guys?"
What, you're not going to help? Get your aging butt in gear.
