Quest for Mud (Special Edition)

[JC w KC redux]

Spoof Proof Roof saw a second ascent today.
Amber took her first leader fall on Get a Grip.
Jesse and his mom hiked to the Frog with Kim.
Kim drank from the spigot back at the picnic tables.
We gave a couple girls from New Zealand a ride to the Visitor center.
I got a tick bite (Kat just got done digging the head out with a needle).

[clink]

Not a bit surprised that the tick died.

[F4?]

Did the tick have Poison Oak on it? Never know.

I got one once, didn't notice until after I had dropped Mr Mud off. Not fun trying by you-self.

[mungeclimber]

Ticks are going to be raging!

[F4?]

Say Munge aren’t the ticks attracted to bright colors?
Like orange?

[Brad Young]

Say Munge aren’t the ticks attracted to bright colors?
Like orange?

Yeah.

Or, in your case, stark white.

[mungeclimber]

Wear green. Blend. Ticks can’t see you.

F4 is on a roll.

[F4?]

A squirrel gets his nut every once in a while.

Mungie loves ticks

[Brad Young]

A squirrel gets his nut every once in a while.

Mungie loves ticks

You're confused.

Munge loves you. But he thinks you're a tick.

[F4?]

But he thinks you're a tick.

I am...I get under his skin and drink all his beer.

[clink]

Bud Light Lyme?

[mungeclimber]

Fight the real fight! Scurvy!

Now brewed with real lime peels!

Bud Light Lyme?

Pretty clever for a knuckle-dragging mud groper.

[F4?]

Hey i resemble that comment!

Face it Munge they just don’t understand!!

[clink]

Now brewed with real lime peels!

 That got a good laugh 

 Is this true?

[clink]

Pretty clever for a knuckle-dragging mud groper.

 Look who is talking, the Neanderthals would have worshiped you as a god.

Hey T O Double D - how did you like Here's Mud in Your Eye?
I think we saw you on Summer of Mud too 

Just spent 4 days at Pinns with some pretty glorious temps.

Climbed a bunch, hung out with lots of cool folks and did an FA with Brad today.

Pretty sweet

Here's a couple shots from yesterday. It was windy and overcast in the morning while we were working - shivering in a T-shirt and sweatshirt at Pinnacles - not likely to last!

Brad drilled bolt 1 and set me up very nicely for the bolt 2 stance





Me drilling bolt 2





Me on the summit, Brad at the base. 5.8, no stars. Fun day. Good adventure.

Ha! That was my first day out there that I actually got to climb real routes. Mud in your Eye was my fav of the day, but we didn’t have time to climb much. I ended up soling stupid things, while Bee patiently coached a climber up Bathing Beuty. That one had a fun start, but we didn’t have any info and went left after the crux, instead of right. Squeaky Clean was a rad 5.6! Easy, but steep. Broke a hold, and almost my ankle, before the first bolt of Hollywood Stars. Last was Mud Diamond, which looked way worse than it turned out to be. It was a cruiser and so fun!

Good stuff out there. Thanks for putting in the work and bolts! Glad y’all had fun too!
