Well we're due in Santa Rosa on Saturday for a dinner. Maybe Mickey's?

If the weather is shit, I'll just stay at home & save some $$.

I start my two-week world-wide work tour (India, Singapore, UK) on Saturday, but might be available for Castle Rock or Pinns on Friday if the weather holds out.

oh waaah. Open a Bud Lime and feel better........I would but I'm picking up the new singlespeed and I want a spin before heading to the UK.

Nope, no beer for me. We've been tasting the family wines. It's hard work comparing them to commercial brands.

Sadly, pop's cracked a '99 BV cab....it just didn't hold up. I couldda told him 2 years ago that the '99 was so so.

Even Mr. Mud is a weaksauce for not climbing tomorrow. I think he's getting soft.

No pinns, sorry Sal, but got a start on a new route at Ahills.  Anchors are in and the route has been cleaned.  Still deciding whether to bolt it for the lead.

looks nice, where is it?
Title: Re: Pinns after T-Day
Post by: mungeclimber on December 01, 2008, 11:00:44 AM
on the way out to Earthday dome.

SW facing.  the crack to the left went too on TR, but it needs more cleaning.

- edit correction, the crack that looks like a seam in the image, not the long crack in the corner that goes up. that needs A LOT of cleaning.

Next thing you know Munge is going to start wearing his checkered spandex.


Did they rebuild the Glacier Lodge. WTF were you doing way up there. Thought that was outside of Big Pine.

it's like a 30 minute drive to Big Pine, easy peasy.

checked out the Birkie Boulders, meant to check out Crystal Ridge too, but aberdeen crossing rd had massive holiday traffic and was in a road construction area. instead we went to Manzanar before heading home on sunday.

Munge as penance to you running astray we are bolting your line.  Just to keep it on the up and up we are bolting from stance and using cams in pockets.

Title: Re: Pinns after T-Day
Post by: mungeclimber on December 01, 2008, 04:07:09 PM
sweet, go for it.

bring tiny brass for the seam that will blow out if you fall on it. screamers might slow you down before the pieces pop.

oh, and bring crash pads for the big rock my gal is standing on it's only a few feet away from the wall's base.

helmets are optional of course.

;)



ps- let's do it in Spring so we can skip the bad rock and climb in the portal and do some real stance.

I have by banging in bolts from stance @ the Pinnacles. So I'm making up for my Table mtn sins.

Table mtn is a whole different world. I bolt going up via jumars and not on rappel. So I see it as a kinda ground up.

It's okay to take a drink from the devil once in a while, right?

Post by: mynameismud on December 01, 2008, 05:10:55 PM
We will bolt their lines later.

The line we are bolting is in the Pins not that junk in Alabama Hills.  So far 4 bolts from stance and one 21/2" and one 3 1/2" in a pocket.  We had several possible names but perhaps we will go with Robs Line.

"Dance with the Devil, the Devil does not change, He changes you."

You ever seen Mr Mud's gear? I think the REI biners would fit in. I have some omega D's and ovals.
