As stated previously I will supply a special edition MudNCrud Mug to anyone who shows and provides reasonable proof that they were there and participated.

Take pics I might use it if you do not mind

hola amigos...
I'm planning on doing this on Friday only...if anyone wants to ride together from the cruz, give a holla...

[Brad Young]

I'm going Friday and Saturday. Joe, we'll do some trail work together again?

[mynameismud]

I will be there one day.  Not sure which yet

[F4?]

I'm screwed. Maybe Sunday...

[JC w KC redux]

We're heading down Friday afternoon and will stay Fri and Sat nights - depending on how it's going probably stay for part of the day Sunday.

[mynameismud]

I'm screwed. Maybe Sunday...

hope you enjoyed it.

[F4?]

Glad to give you cheap humor. I'll be here all week.

[Atomizer]

I'll be down Friday with Joe, but have to go see Les Claypool that night per my Cousin's orders and free tickets. Can't make it Saturday as there is the 20th anniversary of Pacific Edge Party... I guess that's my 20th climbing anniversary too. I'll determine if I can make it Sunday... after I see what type of beer Tom buys.

[F4?]

20 years! Wow where has time gone.

I remember going there right after they had opened.

[JC w KC redux]

Thanks to everyone who came out to work and hang.
We really had fun and can't wait for next year's event!
A special thanks to Larry and Jane for hosting!!
We accomplished a lot - there is still a crew working today at Tourist Trap.
Hopefully Gavin will get lots of pics and post.
Last night was a good time with tasty grindage, adult beverages and some choice swag.
I felt extra lucky to snag a 5.10 beanie, a Petzl DVD and half dozen OP draws.

Two of my geo students came out to work and climb outside(for the first time!) - shout out to Sam and Alyse

Encouraging Eric and Melissa, Moose and Danielle to join M&C.

Lots of fun and good work by all. I'm psyched to see what happened after I left. But the real question is...
When do we get our Masters of Mud Mugs?

Then he can be like this guy...stuck

[Brad Young]

Yeah, we want mugs.

That was a very fun and very productive weekend. What did we have working on Saturday, maybe 50 people? And the party/raffle/talk that night was pretty cool too. Lot's of Pinnacles newbies mixing with lots of Pinnacles veterans.

[Brad Young]

And Gavin, can you post some pics if you are allowed to (is there a difference between photos you take while on duty and off duty?).
