We put the needed fifth bolt on Psychopomp Slab yesterday (although we didn't locktite it - J.C. please help me remember to do that next weekend).

Dark clouds, cold temps, and chilly wind made it feel like November up there yesterday. Hoping for warmer today at Burst Rock.

I always forget psyche is a greek root for soul/mind.



The greek myth that comes to my mind is Charon, ferryman of the dead, but apparently Hermes and Apollo are also psychopomps?  Trismegistos? 

Was this apart of pre-law?? Or pre-med?

It didn't' work. We had nice (and DRY) temps in the sun and chilly in the shade. Got a new FA and a bunch of other stuff done.

I noticed that pre-Mullet  and post D&D were ignored. Therefore please expound and post pics.

Define "lead?"

Roger wanted to check it out, so he ran up it with the bolting gear. He did put on climbing shoes. He used a rope. And he clipped all the bolts. He thought it was very good rock and 5.5.

How many stars? I vote that Roger is not allowed to rate climbs in this range - stick to 10 and above :)

I didn't ask what he thought of the quality. He obviously liked it. I'm sticking with two stars. It's so clean and at 115 feet, it's got some length. Maybe others will climb it this weekend and we'll get their input.

Caleb and I will be digging 8ft deep around a house to reseal block walls and put in french drain. What is with the French having to get credit for toast, fries, kisses etc.?

Others def.- Sane people who don't routinely climb all summer at Pinnacles.

Anyone other than you, me or Roger (the only people who've led it so far). Joel, Brian and Whitney all wanted to do it, but we moved down there at the very end of the day.

And who knows, maybe Munge has done it by now. I think he was up at Chipmunk yesterday? But if he was, he was probably working on some project of his own.

He told KC he couldn't find it.

IMHO - Joel, Whitney, Kat and Munge would be a good sampling.

clink too but he seems to be in a rut...
