JC, that's gotta be a record. I doubt anyone else has done that many climbs at Pinnacles in that short of a time.

it took me years to even get how many I have, and most of those aren't even onsights.

Yep, crushing it is a good way to say it. Let's see what happens when it's actually Pinnacles season  ;)

166 :)

We won't be going this coming weekend as it is KC's 50th!

I told her she should lead #50 in the guidebook for her bday but she declined...it is a 5.8 gear lead.

AAC weekend coming up after that - if the fires and smoke clear...

OK, John, you've clearly become a Master of Mud. Your climbing proves it and so too does you participation here. So, here's a question (maybe we should have a betting pool?):

Which one will J.C. hit first, 200 Pinnacles routes climbed, or 1,000 posts to this forum?

Any other routes that you've led clean, but not onsight? 'Cause you've "done" those routes too  ;)

Elephant Rock Reg Rte - I made the mistake of "being nice" and followed Aaron on that one - then went back another day so KC could climb it.

KC says no way on that one. Maybe you and I could go do it some time. There are a number of routes I want to go back and do on the WF - we have only done Cat and Mouse.

make that 172 - I completed my last onsight on Tuff Dome yesterday - Tuff Dome Traverse 5.6R.
This was a great way to almost die of a heart attack before lunch. I haven't hooped and hollered at the top of a route in quite some time. When I started screaming toward the top and KC and Rosie asked me what was happening - I said I was having a knob-gasm after gaining/grabbing a joy knob near the exit moves in the runout...

leaving my gear...little did I realize the fun was just beginning :)





bolt 1 - you gotta be kidding?! FA 1973 - better have yer bold on when you step away from this POS





beyond this POS there is another just like it - but thankfully it is only about a foot away from a modern smc on a star dryvin - neither of which is showing any rust. now run it out to this (last bolt on the route)





and run it out to the top while carefully picking and choosing your holds and praying to the Gods of choss...

That route scared me - I recall leading it with Dave Harden as a belayer/follower. I drew the topo the same day I led it. I recall having no confidence in the bolts. I don't remember anything else about it though.

No worries. Thanks for sharing. I was just curious why the old bolts/hangers aren't all the same unless FA'ers are like Santa Cruz contractors - they just use whatever hardware they happen to have in the bolt bag that day...that star dryvin and smc are obviously fairly new as neither had any rust - or could those be stainless?

I think I lead that the best way possible.  By a full moon.  That way I could not see the ground.  It was scary at night, cannot imagine leading during the day.

That's why we keep him on the forum. The good looks are long gone....

I'd be up over 500 if I could count repeated routes!
