And I love Dances with Warthogs.  Such a great climb!  Wish I could go climbing...



Me too, Bap!

It's sure pleasing to see such young climbers continuing Pinnacles' bold traditions. Cole and Marco making what I am sure it the third ascent of Daedalus (third ascent in the nearly 50 years since it was put up!!):

That was one of the top 5 knob slinging routes I've done in the park. I'm almost certain Denny must've put an angle or Z-piton in the pocket where the terrible 5.8 crux is. What do I know tho, I was a toprope princess. Cole was a beast and got us up the top pitches where rock turns to shite.

Earlier in the day we warmed up on Cuidado and which was not exactly a comparable warmup... would recommend

Edit: thanks for taking pictures Brad. Its invalid without them and Cole and I didn't take any.

Such a great route. Thanks Gavin for finding it. I definitely miss Pinns this time of year.

Recently was working on a route with Cole and due to its traversing nature we decided to fix a rope...

This is how you find god real quick....jumar a fixed rope in the Pinns...



Cole nearly found god real quick. Good thing the core was still in great shape.
Certainly an eye opener that something so tiny, loose, and visibly flat could cut the sheath. Though maybe it was just the frog method of jugging is too bouncy  ???
