Sorry but unless you can fund my retirement and supply a pard - or fund KC's retirement too - I/we can't climb during the week. Those that are truly smitten with the moss and choss and prefer an hour twenty to 4 or 5 hours on the road have been on the mud for months. From page 4 of the History section:"it is just most Pinnacles climbers have bigger dreams of other places"...well then...I guess I'm not most Pinnacles climbers...
Of course then there are those of us who can climb there on some weekdays, who can rustle up partners, and who can do the drive - but who are running out of routes to do that they haven't already done (at least routes they can do that they haven't already done).
I've got six routes under 5.10 to do at Pinns and of those, four scare the sh#t out of me and are fairly involved undertakings (Icarus is a good example - tried it clean, only to prove that it wasn't gonna happen that way, then rebolted it to avoid a 40 year old bolt failing and a resultant death, now we've got to find the time to actually climb it; like I said, "involved").
Yeah, I guess I'm not most Pinnacles climbers either. AND I DEMAND sympathy for my plight!!
