Thanks for the photo docu work Munge.

Um, those weren't fig leaves. I insist that Mud's story be in the public safety section of the next Pinns guide. Staying alive without cortisone shots.

BEWARE!

Causing trouble when not climbing.

It was a great day, from the weather to the condors.

The route got led and then followed in one continuous ascent. Twenty two people in a row. Fantastic.

Unfair photo. I never peed while I was up there, I promise. There wasn't time.

Good pose.
I can think of one time that would have been appropriate :)

I don't believe it is legal to pee on condors. ;)

The number of Pinnacles legends in these photos. The number of FAs done by this crew. Just the total number of years they've been climbing there. Also a front cover model, and 10, and 25 year old hopes for Pinnacles climbing future:

I only regret that we somehow missed Rob in the group lineup and that Clink wasn't there for those parking lot photos (he was coming up from the East Side, having done Joe a favor).

Call me dense - but I'm confused by this reference.

Who's that dork in the orange hoodie?

You are dense.

There.

Alex is ten and Brian is 25. We need younger climbers who understand (and will uphold and honor) Pinnacles' climbing traditions and ethics. I trust Alex will do this. Brian is finally showing interest in the place and, once he's "in," I trust him to do the same.

And the one in the orange hoodie is a mega-mongo dork.
