It was 98 when we left the parking lot around 1:00.
Mercifully cool cloud cover with a predicted 104.
We climbed around the Sisters with Rosie and a couple newbs  :o 8)
Got them both on the sharp end repeatedly - neither had ever led outside before  ::) 
66 when we pulled back in the beach hut with a thick marine layer around 3:00.

Supposed to take an old friend from Ohio (who now lives in LaLa land) out for a jaunt tomorrow  ;D

It was nowhere near that hot up here yesterday, but even at 6,000 feet elevation it was warm. After the hike out my (orange) shirt was totally soaked with sweat.

And just 10 days ago we were warming the house in the evening by having fires in the downstairs wood stove.

It was 103 in the parking lot around 2:30.
We still had fun by getting started early (7:30 through the west gate).
We took Dave up Photographer's Delight for a photo op and his first climbing experience.
It was getting pretty toasty by the time we got on the Sponge Left Side.
We came down, took a break, had more water, snacks and rest and decided to finish on Kermit.
I had to go back down because the rock was literally cooking my behind whilst sitting on the summit.
Dave and Kat weren't far behind me.
We marched back down through the Sea of Hades, had a beer and headed for some Mexican food in Soledad.
The word of the day was Cook  8)

What? Tough room. It would be the ultimate sin for Mr. Mudd.


Pinns today? Nah, Monterey was just perfect. The sun came out at 1 and the wind kicked up to cool us down.

Hats off to the crazy climbers at the Pinnacles today (including me).  My car thermometer showed 102 oF at the upper Bear Gulch parking lot at 2 pm.  I saw some other climbers on The First Sister and also on Sinbad.

How could you not take it up the buttress!!!??? With shades of jade?  If you say photo ops I believe up the buttress can give photos delight a run for the money.

Steve freed the line on the left side of Voyeur Wall (TR), got the onsite of Sticky Monkey.  There are bees in the crack to the right of Cuttin the Rug.

Invalid without a (TR) rating that Steve must have coughed up. We know the FFA rating may differ, duffer. What did he think of Sticky Monkey's rating and stariness?

he thought Sticky Monkey was well rated.  He was thinking the far left line was 11b or so. He liked the first pitch and summit of OCD Overdrive.

Nice about the route on the left side of Voyeur Wall. 5.11b... I'm guessing Steve thought the crux was up high? Does the line still need anchor chains above the crux?

Yes, the crux is the upper bulge and chains are still needed.

 We climbed Prairie Falcon 5.6 on the north side of Pioneer Pinnacle today, 3 bolts, 50ft. Nice climbing and easier than it looked, thanks to numerous big holds.  JC laughed his way through what ended up being a fairly easy move onto a block.

 We also FATR'd Fledgling 5.8 and Imprint 5.9 which is consistent with my goal of two FATRs each trip. KC did all three with no falls.  I broke a hold on the second crux of Imprint which almost cost me the onsight. >:D

Beauty day with a cool wind keeping the temps down.
