Mud n Crud pecking order...

What are they rated?

These two were unusually hard to rate. But we settled on 5.7 and 5.8.

My idea is that a climber would lead The Joy of Hooking before leading these. But it is an easy rap to the top anchor for the aid route from bottom anchor for the chimney route you and Gavin did. And then do the free climbing back out.

This pic is pretty hideous but I have to post it for clink

Sounds great.
Wish I could have participated more out there but at this point I'll be happy just to get back out and check em out.

It sure sounds like you are getting there. A little more patience?

Way more than a little but it is what it is.

Successfully dropped off the Northstar to new owners this morning.
Went to a good home in Felton.

Here I am doing some early evening yoga stretching in preparation for a hike the next day to the summit of Picacho Peak.
Super cool hike with lots of cabled sections. About as close as you can get to climbing without roping up.
The peak is visible and centered above the camper roof.
It's not Pinnacles but it is volcanic crud.

 No wonder your forehead height is growing. How long do you flatten it into the ground?

It's called Childs Pose you infantile Meanderthal.
5 minutes a day should do it for you.

He is lying. He is praying to Mud but is too embarrassed to admit it.

Praying to the crusty Master of Mud.
