beano didn't make it today. 
I assume she's OK.
She continues to solidify her position as High Priestess of Mud.
You gotta go with Co-High Priestess of Mud. Her Pinnacles achievements are absolutely, totally impressive. And so are Laura's.
The flies didn't seem to be quite as bad on the west side, although at least two bit me in the forehead under my helmet while I was belaying Kat up the bench.
You haven't been to The West Side much lately. How were temps?
In N Out was more crowded than I have ever seen it.
We actually got our food to go. 
Your standards are too high. As a result you waste time. Go to MacDonalds.
In news from up here, Climber Dude and Jennifer established a new climb at Second Quarry Crag (40 feet, 5.7). It's one of the 20 worst climbs on Sonora Pass (they had fun with it though). Their original name was "Climbs Just Like a Pinnacles Route." I defended our sacred area, Climber Dude immediately agreed that disparaging Pinns wasn't right or fair, and the name settled in at "Just Like Mud."
I laughed at him for putting up such a crappy route as I led the second ascent (he was belaying me). He laughed at me while I was climbing for doing that second ascent.
Fantastic crowd (it could have been even better; not naming names, but you know who you are). Lots of climbing, and 34 people for dinner last night.
