Thanks for posting that scary bolt stuff guys - and nice work this weekend!
KC and I went back out for some High Peaks adventuring today.
We scoped out multiple routes and ended up onsighting Egg Shell and Cinder.
The bolt spacing and what felt like a continuous series of committing moves between rests on EggShell scared the crap out of me. Cinder is short but spicy and a bit of a sandbag in my opinion.
I definitely want to go back and onsight Trainspotting, Disintegration Pinnacle, Freedom Dome and the Smokestack.
I've also been clamoring to go over and scale Frothy Flake.

Here is a museum piece on Freedom Dome - can't wait to clip this beauty - NOT!





Got to see a condor swooping over Tuff and Bynum's from Kermit as we were packing up for the exit hike.

That's great! I thought the bolts look familiar.

Did you scrub the holds?

Let me know when you go again.
I'm not worthy.

John, sorry we missed all of you. Of the parties you saw, that was Dawsons on Elephant Rock.

i was watching Steve belay at the top of Elephant from my belay at the top of Beyond Destiny - and he was watching us too - although i didn't know it was him at the time. i sent him the pic i took.

there were several and none of them were wearing helmets (i don't get it).

hikers seemed to be getting a chuckle looking at us sitting on top of Cinder.
i think it holds the distinction for shortest 5.7 at 20 feet.
that sucker is a spicy lead though - felt harder and more sustained than Piglet(my first and shortest 5.8 onsight 1-15-12). i figured Cinder was going to be a challenge since it's so short - my long reach was a definite asset.
