whaddayamean? Missing chunks means it's already been cleaned.

the edge it left behind looks usable 

[Brad Young]

I'd be very happy hanging out below while you two go for the lead on such usable edges (I actually stood on this usable edge when I was drilling - it crumbled predictably, but held).

As a noob/boob I'd be satisfied with the second ascent

that's the spirit! Just need to get to the mother choss. Let the next guy worry about that cookie-ing apart.

Worst route at pinnacles?

looking like it.....

just start bolting.....rivet or 2....

It's all there if you want to waste the metal. Make sure your rivets are 3/8" and about 4" long

Them dimensions sound like re-bar.

Use some glue and they are A1?

I propose that any heads left fixed, trenched between cobbles at Pinns, be called cobbledikheads.

In honor of anyone who would weight one.

Just talked to Steve again about crackaphobia.

He said he is pretty sure he did not aid the crack.

However, he did mention drilling the 1st pitch of son of dawn direct solo.  He thought SOD wall was to be an FA.

It had already been climbed prior to his attempt.

Shortly thereafter, he repeated sod wall, complete with the original start for its 2nd ascent.

Cool history.

Pigeon crack looks bagalaar.

Edited for clarity:

I haven't been in contact with him for a bit now, but Chuck Clance had told me he did the second ascent of Son of Dawn Wall with the original start. He seemed dumbfounded to hear about the direct first pitch bolt ladder. He said if you're gonna climb it, do the original start. I haven't climbed it yet.

...he said if you're gonna climb it, do the original start. I haven't climbed it yet.

Do both starts and you'll have done two different routes (nobody is limited to just one    ).

The original start is loose, scary, relatively easy, garbage climbing. I'd never do it again (but I had to do it once!!).
