I know where that is.  Was wondering when folks would get there.

Dang ya

When were you there.

[mungeclimber]

yesterday

line on the left will link into this line shown and another line right will be worked and a big crack off right of that is done.

double top secret, tell no one.

[mynameismud]

Tell anyone.  Dude you jumped my route.  I already soloed up to the shoulder.  Your not supposed to be climbing there.  It's MINE!

Hey did you see ....

Never mind.

[mynameismud]

My precious, my precious

[F4?]

I'll bolt it all!

Never mind.

I did. But didn't have enough beer for it.


Side note; you ever taken the trail from "Old Pinnacles" trailhead up to junction of Condor Gulch trail?  Worthy.

[F4?]

You mean from the maintenance yard up to the high peaks?

[Uncle Stinky]

I just did it for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I liked it not much rock but a nice hike.

[mungeclimber]

yes F4.

as for no rock, well maybe not next to the trail.

[Brad Young]

Actually that is where The Rook is. I think it is the most remote formation in the monument (measured by how far it is from any other formation).

[waldo]

Ah, the Rook.  It might be rock as opposed to a pile of gravel.  The jury is out.  It's only attribute is that it is close to where Roper used to camp.

[mungeclimber]

you used to be able to camp over there beyond the maintenance area?
It's really nice over there, except for the maintenance yard part.

dang, I missed the golden age of pinns climbing.

[Uncle Stinky]

I thought I about walking over to the rook but I did not.  It would be cool if they open a couple of small walking campgrounds around the park. 

[waldo]

I spoke with a ranger yesterday on the West Side and he said that walk-in campsites are in the works.  We'll see.

[mungeclimber]

at the expense of tearing up that meadow? 

Down with the West Side Visitor Center

Just say no to RVs

[F4?]

Muge, that trail is a bitch. Save youself the trouble.

Good to hear there's walk in sites. but yes I have to question, why at the expense of that nice meadow.
