starting up Drop Zone past the first bolt...up higher in the runout zone it was a toss up between mud and crud...

shady beneath the machete...KC was shivering when i started up the bandit bench just before 10:00...it was only low 90's when we hit the parking area around 3:00

nice afternoon breeze as usual and the high peaks were crystal clear...

no one seems to like the low angle run out section.

The Ubergoober shall return this season. Don't know that I'll be sending 5.10 anytime soon (heck, 5.7 might be challenging right now), but the bad hoof is stronger and I finally have a much more flexible schedule now than I have had in the last 5 years. If folks need a belay bitch this season so I can follow and get my crimp strength and climbing head back, let me know.

Dixie and I now live in Oakland, so we'll be out there after Tuolumne closes. She's got trad leading to do and I have a few more aid lines to cry on.

Uber, don't wait for winter! Let's do some Conness! Cobble has it right!

Costanoan redux today...KC got her lead on p1, p3 - i swung 2 and 4 - we did the opposite the first time around on July 4th...saw some free soloists on the Machete- watched them from Citadel's summit - 3rd class to the base of p2 Derringer and then up the final 5.1 pitch...

KC rockin' p1 Costanoan

free soloists on Machete's east face...one on 3rd class...one almost at top of Derringer...

F4? · « **Reply #15 on:** September 03, 2012, 05:56:05 PM »

Über, who are you? Can you belay?

Now if y'all want an adventure the 1st pitch of Conduit has a few new key bolts.

That Jim guy would post up but the admins keep blocking him. Or something like that.

Chezzy pictures to follow...

naw...the bolts are fine...the climbing in the runout is easy...i actually didn't need the rock holds in that part...i just crimped off the lichen

mungeclimber · « **Reply #17 on:** September 03, 2012, 06:02:48 PM »

cool

there have been others that have not enjoyed the top because of the run out distance. I'm amenable to adding, just don't want to over do it on easy ground.

MUCCI · « **Reply #18 on:** September 03, 2012, 06:15:57 PM »

I wanted another bolt, as did a friend I sandbagged into leading it.

I thought that Mrs mUD lead that part? You guys only gave her 1 bolt, or so the story goes???

mungeclimber · « **Reply #19 on:** September 03, 2012, 06:40:34 PM »

I thought mr. mud did the final redpoint on it. Been awhile. Yeah, we probably were out of bolts and tired of drilling by then. I really enjoyed putting those three lines in. Good times on the ledge. Putting Salad out on the lead on hooks. Cajoling Mr. Mud to go down there to help put in new lines. Lots of coffee on the drives down.

I think I originally spied those lines after I had lead Gary and Phyllis headwall one day. Was I with F4 or Salad? Either way, that first move on G&P really stymied me the first go. Scary looking crux bolt. But eventually worked out a sequence that wasn't a massive pump. Then the rest of the climbing was good quality, small diameter bolts. After coming down, I think we went back with my new Tuning forks (Theron Moses had made me). 3/8" split shaft was in there good. Took awhile. I think it was then I started thinking that if G&P was good rock, the stuff left was probably good too!

First bolt on Drop Zone...
