You find it odd that other climbers don't tap every hand and foothold at their crags.

Cock, that's not funny. It's totally true and insightful. One of the reasons why climbing at Pinns makes a climber better. Better rounded. Better able to handle less than perfect conditions. Better able to enjoy times when he is on good quality rock.

...You consider moss as a structural compound to hold the rock together.



...You actually believe that Tuburcio's treasure is under the Monolith and have looked for it.

You may be a Pinnacles climber if you spend as much time placing/replacing bolts as you do clipping them...or is that just because I hang out with the wrong crowd?

You might be a real Pinnacles Climber if you can name some other Pinnacles other than Tourist Trap, Discovery Wall or The Monolith

you routinely see ticks



see condors



see raptors and turkey vultures



have great adventures on all of the grades



spend time hunting for old OLD pinnacles routes so you can you did every climb in the Monument



spend time working on a guidebook for the area



are amazed each time you end up at the West Side parking area with the sun going down.
