we call those Twimp Turds.  GOP controlled House, Senate, and Executive. Now they think they can leave the sh1t show for the rest of us.

I just thought it gave new meaning to Much Shitty Ridge.
The stool was a loose, large pile (no turds), indicating a very regular person.

My last climbing partner just moved to Texas, so I bought gear to solo TR, and today I faced the hordes attracted by free entrance to break it in on Deep Groove Wall. Absolutely perfect day. I tagged all 4 routes. Huge thanks to everyone who developed them. They were all super solid and super fun. No Room for Squares was especially good.

He needs a couple more pounds. Or JC and KC need to start installing anchors at the bottom of their routes for me to tether him to.  ;D

I used to go to the Gorge with Katie and she’d belay me with a GriGri while tethered. And then after climbing we’d go out on desert roads and I’d teach her to drive.

Sorry bro - we like you and Calvin but that is not going to happen.
Funny that you posted today as your tag line and name came up today when we were on our way out of the west side.
Glad you enjoyed the routes - "Squares" was NOAL's brainchild and we had a lot of fun putting that up on his birthday. Definitely the best route on that particular wall.

Yes - thanks to people like this they are shutting the east side down as of today (starts tomorrow Sunday the 30th).
According to the Pinns facebook page, only people with verifiable campground reservations will be allowed past the intersection of hwy 25 and 146 (the east entrance). You must present your reservation receipt to gain access. No cars will be allowed past the campground road.
The west entrance will remain open - for now...

Glad I snuck in under the wire. I got a late start and didn't hit Bear Gulch until 11, and it was a madhouse. I waited 15 minutes for a parking spot. Others were parking in the 20 minute spots and on the side of the road, but I had zero doubt that, shutdown or no, the government had enough in its coffers for parking enforcement. Sure enough, when I returned there were a lot of orange tags on a lot of windows.

And speaking of thinking of mudders while on the west side, about a month ago I may have gotten a shot of your orange shirt, JC. Once I get my act together with Flickr I'll post it up to see if it is you.

Everytime I'm out deep on a forest service road that's all I can think about. But desert's smarter-fewer dropoffs and fewer things to hit.

The tags on the windows were red.

My staff calls me “Emperor.” He could also stick with that.

The last line of the announcement on Pinnacles Facebook page;

Additional facilities and areas may close within Pinnacles National Park at any time for the health and safety of park visitors.
