Seriously?

Seriously? How often is this site serious?

Actually the forecast looks dry and sunny, but with some crisp temps. Good day for a south facing granite crag or three.

Was a really nice day to just kind of hang out and at least act like we were climbing.

I think we have perfected the "one guy bolts while the belayer takes a nap" method of new routing.

Is there any other kind?

clink and I did that on Sunday the 15th. I should have taken a picture of him napping in the grass.

It's amazing how nice it is with no pain and no ibuprofen

We topped out this pinnacle. I am tentatively calling it Sunshine Pinnacle and the route Dreaming of Sunshine. Has some fun climbing on it but it turned out to be harder than anticipated. Currently is 5.10 A0.

Looking up.

approximate line

Congrats! Looks like a fun line, and the name sounds great. What sub-grade do you think it is? How many bolts are on the line?

mynameismud · « **Reply #50 on:** May 31, 2016, 02:07:56 PM »

8 bolts ( I need to count ), 12 something
Will most likely add a bolt or two and make it a 10 / A1 line. We probably should have gone for the easy line up the arête to the right of this line. In my defense, I do not have a solid history of going for the sure thing.

Actually, you don't need any defense because you don't have a solid history of going for the sure thing....

Don't fret. I can help clear up the A0 this weekend.

mynameismud · « **Reply #54 on:** May 31, 2016, 07:45:56 PM »

Already went 5.10 A0, but some people may find the A0 a bit more A1.

Gavin · « **Reply #55 on:** June 03, 2016, 08:51:38 AM »

Whoa, 5.12. Is that somewhere in the top section that it gets that stiff?

mynameismud · « **Reply #56 on:** June 03, 2016, 09:46:53 AM »

top section is 10 and kind of cool. It is the middle section that blanks out. We went straight up over a bulge which is very hard to free.

It is possible to continue the line or a line out up and left ( where the current line starts to get hard ) with a continuous line of knobs on pretty good rock. This I think would be a really good line but it is slightly over hanging and sustained and smallish holds. Probably hard 12 due to the sustained nature. But there is absolutely no way I can do that at this time. I can do short bursts of hard stuff but this is long. If someone sent it I think it would be one of the better routes of that grade, but then who knows. I know looking at it I cannot help but think it looks really cool, it would be a burner for sure. It has motivated me to eat less and work out a bit every morning ( that has to be some kind of statement ).

Gavin · « **Reply #57 on:** June 03, 2016, 10:06:48 AM »

Interesting. So you think the line you guys did is 5.10 AO/A1, and 5.12 if freed. And you think there might be another 5.12 line going up and left?

mynameismud · « **Reply #58 on:** June 03, 2016, 01:18:29 PM »

That is correct. The line we are doing is just a couple of really hard moves due to a lack of good holds. The other line has better holds but is long and sustained. It might be a bit harder than 12, hard to tell without climbing it.

work it.
