I need some Cliff Notes...

[Atomizer]

Since I missed a few months of The Pinns, due to factors that may have been outside my control, can some one give me the brief 100 words or less of what has happened this year at The Pinns. I already know about the trash...

[squiddo]

This sounds like a teacher assignment. Hmmmmm who can do this......

[mynameismud]

I already know about the trash...

This made me laugh.  There was a trail work weekend sponsored by Mountain Tools with lot's of swag, food and beer.  A fair amount of work was done around Discovery Wall and Teaching Rock.

Brad has done almost all the routes under 5.10.

Clink and company put up a cool new 5.10 up in the High Peaks.

There was the Inn Weekend and the Inn Crowd was put up on the upper tier of the Balconies and it has been well received and there were a number of ascents and many pictures.

The return of CruxLuv.

Do the the trash and the attention it received there will be an up coming trail work day/weekend to put in barricades to stop all the trail cutting that is going on.  There will also be planting of native plants.

Atomizer went off and had a bunch of fun and made the rest of us ( at least me ) very envious and has been lacking in posting enough pictures to satisfy my vicarious living.

mudncrud started climbing again and actually did ten pitches in a day for the first time in years. All easy routes but hey, have to start somewhere.

Forum membership doubled.

The Monument became a National Park.

Ron Skeleton at 73 on sighted Shake and Bake.

Katie went off to school and is climbing.

What did I miss, anyone got something else to add.

Triple X was rebolted, and has made mungie a disabled person.

You sticking to that story? :-)

[mungeclimber]

oh definitely. 

[squiddo]

oh definitely. 

Very well then....saw the cross post on ST. Good cause for the injury

[clink]

Apparently Munge was sore from other extracuricular activity. The bolting only finished the job off.

All the 5.11-15 first ascents we waited on until the Atomizer would be availible to do the second ascents and verify the ratings.

Waldo was found and is safe and no worse for wear.

Brad is very near sighted and gets delusional when he aid climbs.

JC is at 199 onsights and riding his unicycle today. He may do #200 as a first ascent if the weather holds for the 15th.

Mud owes me a beer, i think, for a 5.9d rating.

Aaron leads the crux first, then place the protection later.

I thought protection as an afterthought was a Pinns tradition

[mynameismud]

Need to add

Clint and Bruce did a bunch of rebolting.

The Monument has seen some activity.

JC joined the rebolting team and has helped rebolt several climbs already - of course these are routes that Atom will NEVER climb unless he devolves and begins climbing his salad - like a real Pinns climber...

So much for quality....?

You're right. But I have devised a new scheme to make use of these new bolts. I will downclimb on lead every climb in Pinnacles 5.10 and under.

Yer funny dude

[mynameismud]

true but he could actually do it.

[Atomizer]

true but he could actually do it.

I'd at least have a rope, but I'm not sure how that would work... yet
Some other guy on here is pretty famous for down-climbing without a rope at the Pinns is my role model.

[clink]

To do an onsight downlead, approach climbers starting your desired route,  tell the belayer the climb sucks to follow. Then offer your rope and to downlead and clean their gear. Or belay your partner blindfolded, jug the line still blindfolded and have your partner re-clip the draws when he raps to belay you. Repeat if multipitch. I know this will interest JC because its onsighting and Aaron because its weird.
