Dueling JC's on Satyr. Climb bony nubs and horns 110 feet past 4 bolts to a fully erect and exposed summit. Myth or madness?  :lol: :yesnod: :ihih: :devildevil:

  Satyr Pinnacle is a satellite of Goat Rock. A 5.fun romp with a summit that cantilevers over Juniper Canyon. It has an interesting water-chute that we will have to explore next time. Rewarding after a cross country hike in, via the Western Front with KC and JC. A much easier approach can be had from the High Peaks trail. We dared not climb any thing in the Barber Pole area. All pole dancing in that area is on hold for the return a certain individual obsessed with such things.

Quote
In Greek mythology, a satyr pronounced sátyros is one of a troop of ithyphallic male companions of Dionysus with goat-like features and often permanent erection.The satyr's chief was Silenus, a minor deity associated (like Hermes and Priapus) with fertility. These characters can be found in the only complete remaining satyr play, Cyclops, by Euripides, and the fragments of Sophocles' Ichneutae (Tracking Satyrs). The satyr play was a short, lighthearted tailpiece performed after each trilogy of tragedies in Athenian festivals honoring Dionysus. There is not enough evidence to determine whether the satyr play regularly drew on the same myths as those dramatized in the tragedies that preceded. The groundbreaking tragic playwright Aeschylus is said to have been especially loved for his satyr plays, but none of them have survived.

Mature satyrs are often depicted in Roman art with goat's horns, while juveniles are often shown with bony nubs on their foreheads.

As Dionysiac creatures they are lovers of wine and women, and they are ready for every physical pleasure. They roam to the music of pipes (auloi), cymbals, castanets, and bagpipes, and they love to chase maenads or bacchants (with whom they are obsessed, and whom they often pursue), or in later art, dance with the nymphs , and have a special form of dance called sikinnis. Because of their love of wine, they are often represented holding wine cups, and they appear often in the decorations on wine cups.

 There is also a cool looking and seemingly unclimbed pinnacle 150ft SW of Satyr. Disclaimer; the rock quality on it may or may not suck but a route could go. We agreed that we are completely spoiled after the stellar rock quality of late.

 Directly across the valley sits the Shaft.

Let's hope we don't get the Shaft next time we're up there.  :lol:

while most of that mud looks charmingly lovely, there is tasty rock in the rest of the world.

But ya'll know that... :)

So if Jim or I posted photos of today's class three chute up a 13,500 foot peak, that wouldn't fit either?

Can I at least mention the name? What a great name: Cloudripper Peak.

Berate away. We're leaving after breakfast for another peak in Little Lakes Valley. I look forward to a good beration after we get back.

Not much a beration. Way cool summit though this morning. I will however, start another thread in the appropriate sub-section of the forum (one that will cover this and future trips climbing with those friendly people on the Sierra's east side).

Yes it's not like you have an ENTIRE FORUM dedicated to this topic.

And thanks for implying that I am unfriendly.

I'll show ya unfriendly.

Damn, I think I may need some Anger Management.
