so on the 5.10, I led it on sight clean and came down....then Adam went up and belayed Jon from the top....I spotted the first bolt on the second pitch and again thought maybe the route was the 5.8 because I thought, probably mistakenly, that you told me the 5.8 had 2 pitches....but since I didn't see anymore bolts, I came down.....I believe Adam went up a bit, but did not top out....I was on the ground....

really good work on the routes....we went back for the same burgers that we went out for w you and Noel, food was just as good, but the service was atrocious....took 3 days to get our order.....and saw our first Trump bumper sticker in the parking lot.....

mudworm, the moves on the 11 are not reachy....it's a warm up for you....total crusher that you are.....

Yesterday on my way home from Yosemite, I checked in with Mr. Mud asking him how his day at Pinnacles went (after spraying about my Yosemite trip). As the new crag started to sound more interesting, I asked about the name of the new area. When he told me the name, I had to ask him to spell it. Was that really a word? I had never heard of it. So he told me the story behind it. I was almost ROFL'ng. You guys need to make more noises up there to alert people on the trail. That's a beautiful area and easy for people to get a false sense that they are the only ones on the trail.

I hope the crux moves discussed here are not reachy.  :D

As Joe mentioned, you'll have no problems with the crux moves... The moves are sequential but not reachy, and the whole route is well protected. I definitely think you'll like it.

Thanks Gavin and Joe. Being a scaredy cat I am, I think I'll wait for all the loose holds to have been broken off by you guys' dozen ascents.

I've been to the crag and love its location and the hike leading to it. I can totally see this area gain popularity once the area is adequately developed. It sounds like you guys are close if not already there. Nice job guys and thanks to all involved (Mr. Mud, Noal, Gavin, and clink... did I miss anyone?)!

... and the whole route is well protected.


Not if I can't plug a cam in.  :D
Inch by inch, I will get there.

We make some grunting noises, heavy breathing,hootin'n hollerin', and sometimes horse snorting noises.

hopefully clink and I can get busy working on See Alice Pinnacle when I return
We have the Clinker now.  You will have to visit the Voyeur Crag to retrieve him.   >:D

agreed Gavin....all three routes were really good but especially the 11
Thanks for all the feedback Joe and Adam!  Glad you liked the routes.  Come up another day and hangout.

He would enjoy that whole area, vary mungeque. Bouldering too, there is.

I would say the grunting by Noal, Gavin and Mud is only half done.

everyone should realize that if they use a certain word in reference to a certain popular individual the data bit Gods just might work a certain editing magic.

Cryptic, threatening and foreboding - kind of eerie.

A temporary lapse of reason.

More like hunting calls to get all those pervy hikers wound up.  Then they take it in the Tunnel.
