It's depressing seeing this great site so dormant for so long. So what you got?

Personally:

SOD/Mushitty Directisma Linked
Lava Falls
Cuidado
Replace some bolts here and there (is there a bad bolt list?)

Venture out to some of the more obscure and remote locations, I know I am missing some beautiful stuff out there so I promised myself a 4-1 ratio of obscurities to classics until I am satisfied.

Hope your granite season goes great and see you at the pinns when the devil leaves soledad!

I knew there were reasons I like you. Nice goal. I got some ideas, so count me in on this one.

I have one Pinns goal for next season: get my life total past 800 routes climbed in good style.

I'll bite. I need to prep myself for South Africa in October. I need to be able to represent....Yep, gotta buy a new pair of Lycra

So my humble goals are Lava and Shake'n Baken. Prior to that, lead the following:
Broken Arrow, Buffalo Soldier & POD. If I can walk them....I'm set for the above 2.

I'll be itching go get down there as soon as them birds are done. My huch is Lava will be great in the evening in Aug/Sept.

PS, whoever wants to lead it as well. I'd be up fer shooting some pozing shots (the light might be better early in the am??). Also ask me for the secret Balconier decent beta.

Just one goal: go to Pinnacles.

Do I have to limit this to 1,000 words or less?

Best to stick wit just getting down there.

The conditions looked nice yesterday...windy as heck in Soladad with the Fog breaking by noon.

I have decided to dedicate the next couple of seasons to the Pinnacles, so the list starts pretty humble but is pretty long. I want to get out to some of the more obscure spots and do some old school classics. I also would like to get involved with some trail and route restoration.

I like this guy. If adventure in rock climbing has a future after us old guys keel, it's with guys like Gomez13 and Mucci.

Hopefully I have another 20 years. I will need that to get any where near your route count.

I now have a reliable vehicle to drive down there, look forward to a couple more trips this year.

May actually make the maiden voyage this coming weekend. No better place for the first trip.

Sunday?

mynameismud · « **Reply #11 on:** August 18, 2009, 07:13:02 AM »

That might work.

salad · « **Reply #12 on:** August 18, 2009, 01:31:25 PM »

yeah id like to just get there, if even only once this season...

mynameismud · « **Reply #13 on:** August 18, 2009, 01:49:57 PM »

I have a good route name, sitting, longing, begging, waiting for a route that it can cling to like a rat to a sinking ship.

Gomez13 · « **Reply #14 on:** August 22, 2009, 12:26:00 PM »

Going to the Pinnacles next Sat. Going to do some stuff on the west side. Hopefully find some shade as well!

Went down to the Pinnacles today. Did not do a lot of climbing but it was nice all the same. The breeze was stellar, however over all it was a bit muggy and hazy.

Hiked out to the Frog. Tried to lead Pinch Gripped but got gripped instead. TR'd Volcanic Panic and Get A Grip. The rock on both of those routes is good. Get a Grip is just so solid. I remember after doing it the first time thinking the rock was a bit loose. Do not know what happened there.

Lost my way a bit, both on the approach and the decent, and ended up doing some bush whacking.

Was the maiden voyage for the new ride. Seem to be getting close to 40 MPG and the USB port is so cool. Listened to some podcasts and got well into an audio book. The book seemed good to me but it seemed to put mudworm right to sleep.

Oh yeah, how can I forget. The AC is sssswwwweeeeeeeeettttttttt.

Squiddo and I just got back from 2 days in the meadows. Good training for the Pinnacles.

Must be getting old.

Did U take Mungie along?

mudworm · « **Reply #18 on:** August 24, 2009, 09:18:39 AM »

Munge lucked out. No, I was the co-bushwhacker. Still have scratches in legs and arms to show (despite having worn long sleeves and long pants).
