JC did you check out Rock Around the Clock or Balconies Regular Route? They look next. I found more 10's calling to you.

Get on Los Banditos too - I seriously think it's the best FA I've done at Pinns. Good aid/free experience.

Mud, French free is A0/pulling on gear/half free climbing.

What are you talking about?

Excuse my previous post. I could not find Los Banditos and thought you guys were yanking our chains with a mythical Pinns route. JC gave me the details.

Aaron, read closely:  French free is bad form.  The one exception is if you are climbing with a French hottie.

yarding on gear, works very well.  French Free might be faster than aiding a pitch, but A0 or yarding on gear are faster.  

Jeepers, next thing we know you will be stopping mid pitch to bolt that crack.  Did you perm your hair while you were out French Freeing those pitches, buy some foie gras, wear pink lycra?  No wonder you cannot find climbing partners.  Get a grip dude.

Think Hardman, Captian Granite, Batman, and Sweat in your eyes.  

Eric,

I can now only assume that you are French. I was thinking that maybe if you wore something like this it might make you look like a hottie....Then maybe if you would go climbing with me I might be in good form?

that won't help on the route.....the ladder is pretty good as ladders go. then there's the airy free moves to the ledge.

Maybe this fall with the wing being post 1yr from surgury.

Multipitch? Aid climbing? French Freeing? Jugging? JC what is happening to you? I am really starting to get worried. Keep this up and you might end up on granite somewhere in the Sierra and forsake Pinnacles for a weekend or two.

The valley calls with its sweet granite voice.

I MUST agree. This is by far my favorite non-death route in the monument.

Maybe.

But on the other hand, Roger and I just put up an absolutely three star, 5.11a route in the South Fork today. No crowds (in fact no-one but us), great, wilderness location, and previously untouched, Tuolumne Meadows quality rock. A full 115 feet of it (ten bolts and one cam).

I get a little jaded by the Valley crowds and scene (but then I've also done hundreds of routes in the Valley and had great times; and I'm not hanging out on and enjoying obscure walls there like you are Kevin - so more power to you for having high levels of fun).

Hey, nobody died, so it wasn't a death route.

And BTW, did Sean make that delivery to you yet?

I'll see Sean this weekend Brad so we'll see. I'm going to try to get more freeclimbing in in my life now so once things cool down I'll be back in the pinns and start working in my tick list there.

It's been pretty cool around here lately. Long pants in the evenings and the windows shut. Very nice.

There were two mosquitos while we were passing through the aspen forest, and then not a single bug in sight. None.

And BTW, J.C., Roger (who just moved here) teaches geology at our local community college. Sound familiar?
