Finally it is finished!

Here is what the 1st pitch looks like:

Of course there's a 5.9 move higher up from aiders to the ledge.

Jim/ Brad, care to post up pictures of the route?

Jim "the human Bosch" placing the first bolt:

Placing the fifth bolt (last bolt at knees, hanging from a sling on a loose knob):

Jim placing the seventh bolt, up over the roof:

Relaxing while someone else bolts:

Busting out the free moves to end the first pitch. One of the more intimidating leads I've done at Pinns since I had no idea what I was leading to (in subsequent ascents, Bratton has lead this pitch 3 times):

Please note the distance from the aiders (the last bolt) to the ledge. It's technically 5.8-5.9, but 10A when you factor in the mental part of going for it. But I've done it how many time??

Yep, the 1st pitch is no give-away. There are a couple top step moves. Good practice.

Where is this at? Is this what ya'll were working on this weekend on Machete? I happened to see Brad Young up there pounding in some bolts but wasn't carrying a guide book or anything so I have no idea where ya'll were at on the wall.

For that day, while leading, yes.

Yup. Things have settled down a bit. You'll be seeing more of me. Hell, even meeting up w/F4B at the gym once a week now (when he doesn't bail). Looking forward to a good Pinns season. Many projects to add to the new guidebook addendum.
