Look what my wife got me for my Birthday...

[squiddo]

is the butter knife for really thin cracks?

Or for stabbing yourself to take your mind off the junk you are standing on.....

[Aaron McDonald]

...do me a favor and google "California holographic will" before you set out (and name me in that will).

Is this the Brad version of "yer gonna die!"?

[Aaron McDonald]

We could do some damage with that rack.  A little light on the hawks, 40 is damn near mandatory..

Where are your copperhead pounders and chisels?  Blow tube, brush, and butter knife?  GETSOME!  

Come to the darkside.

Purchased a couple of chisels and 1/8" punch. Just finished making my butter knife..The darkside doesn't look so bad plus Mucci told me they have cookies on that side!

Look here is the proof!





Any suggestions on routes to test out my new gear?

Mucci, if I ask real nicely can I please get the topo?

[MUCCI]

Cobbledik just repeated it.  He has some important revisions to the topo.  They trundled all of the death block belayer slayers, sounds good to go. I will let him post up his corrections, here is the original topo:

You might like it, especially since you already like climbing at pinnacles.

Could Mr Mud free it?

right now I am lucky to free Portent.

Topo is fine feature-wise. Only issues are rap distances. If you're using a 200' static haul line then you'll need two ropes for the first rap from summit and you'll need to not skip belay 7 when rapping. To hit the ground you'll need to put a pin in at belay 1 to rap plumb to the ground.

This is a grand route. Minimal nailing and all of it thin. All A2 (the A2+ is more about knowing how to avoid sharp edges and loose blocks) pitch 1 and 2 are easy but weird hauling, the rest is wonderful.

you know to the op, sometimes a rurp is just rurp.

[MUCCI]

Jesus, freeing the p6 iron messiah would be way proud,  arrow size crack.

He'll, even getting to p8 belay would be burl with free climbing shoes.

With a few variations it would go.
