I was telling a friend about following the 10a route on Gertie's Pinnacle and how I weighted a hold that blew and sent me flying.

Squiddo yells down asking if I'm ok or need to be lowered.  "It's OK, I just blew a hold."

"You gonna buy that ?"

"What ??"

"You break it, you buy it !"

Nice pics of Condor Condiment!  Jack and I were quite pleased with this baby.  The original 5.7 finish to the 3rd pitch was a true horror.  We went back and put up the 10a later.  That's a much saner way to go.  I led pitches one and four.  Pitch two, the crux, was all Jack.  In subsequent leads I never did find all the gear placements he did.

Me too. I was suprised how creative he must have been.

The 10a is a saner variation??? Jeepers! The thought of him going 1 more move to place the bolt.....

The bolts need to be replaced on this baby and more traffic.

Kind of a warm day, but I went back and did Condor Condiment today.  What a fun route !  The approach was a bushwhack though.  Some pics :

p1


p2


p3


p4 - did some kinda exposed traverse/downclimb thing


Wandered around looking for the Fault Zone, then realized it was right under our noses.  The 5.8 hand crack was delicious -



Awesome day !

I thought the traverse on p2 was really good -- thrilling exposure.  Partner placed some cams (including the #4) and a tricam (his first ever, yahoo).

I placed a cam or two on p3, but otherwise clipped bolts.  Think I did the 10a variation, but it didn't feel 10a to me, so I either did it wrong, or all the bouldering at the gym has been paying off  ;D

The traverse on the last pitch was funky, not quite sure we did it the way the FA-ists did, but hey it was fun.

Made the mistake of rapping from the summit all the way down to the chockstone .. the rope wouldn't pull from there.  My partner soloed up the chimney on the left to the other rap station near the tree and managed to free it.  A lot of friction going over that edge.
