Pinnacles Spring Trip - Family Style

[Uncle Stinky]

Nothing too exciting but a fun family trip 2nd year in a row. Four days of perfect weather.   Brad stopped in for a good Thai dinner on Thursday. Nice to meet Brad and Bod.  Lots of Condors, my wife saw the nesting one, and no hassles with guides.  Hope to head up tomorrow for the day. Hope to get in a FA.

Brad, Katy will be working in Sonora on Tuesday.

Rat Race, Backed off this climb and set up a TR, I lead it about 25 years ago with no problem, first time in decades I backed off a .7.

Hey,

that's a sandbag .7 and nothing good happens in a fall from that crux.  There's nothing to prove on a family trip.

Nice!!

Man what a big cat!  That thing is huge, he was obviously hanging with a good crew 

Way to keep the tradition alive, last years trip it was HOT!  Plus you got all the systems dialed now.

Nice to see the pics of the family, nothing but smiles.
