surprisingly good.

Couldn't agree more

Above the first couple cruxes in the Heffalump chimney section.

Had a fabulous day with Gavin today.

A bit sore today after hanging on a knob to drill a difficult bolt and set Gavin up - again

I managed to set him up last time too

We got past the hardest section yesterday. Can't wait to get back out there!

On a side note, the flies seemed a bit less yesterday.
One did manage to land on my ankle and crawl up my pant leg (unbeknownst at first to me).
I think it was actually flying around a little in there - a very weird sensation.
With triple digits approaching again, maybe they will be hurried toward the end of their life cycle.
Wait...gotta go...I think I smell shoo fly pie

With temps like that I wonder whether you're talking about you, or the flies?

I had a dream last night, part of it was that Fletcher led 40 days of Rain. He was explaining how difficult the moves were to get to the lip. After that it was pretty easy for him, the mantle etc.

I bet you were hanging on his every word

40 days is easy, pull on the large holds....

JC, after seeing your pic, I had to dig out my Richards and look. I first lumped the Heff on November 11th, 1977. I apparently found wired stoppers to be useful.

Moves to the lip are not bad. It's the crumbly crimp after the mantel

That's got to be a route name!

I spent many years snatching crumbs, so I really have no interest in crimping them (or snatching any more of them).

For the aspiring dirt bag that lives at Pinnacles year round (in a van of course).

I got a real treat last night after dinner at beano's house.
Jesse invited me for a short ride in his plane.
We took off from Watsonville and buzzed the fault line for a bit in the direction of Pinnacles (Quest for Mud).
The sun was just setting, so we turned toward Fremont peak and flew out to the big water over Elkhorn Slough.
There were some amazing drainage patterns exposed by low tide.
We came back up the coast with the sunset colors on our left and the beaches on our right.
We buzzed my house before turning back to the airport.
Super slick setup. My first time in a little plane.
I'll make sure I take a camera when we go up again.

11-11-77, interesting date. I was riding my motorcycle in freezing temps to Frankfort on a temp job assembling large, modular file cabinets in the capitol building, still smoking and unbeknownst to me...developing a serious case of mononucleosis. But that is a different story...altogether...

There are lots of good gear placements. I really liked the offset aliens in the pin scars.
I was able to sew it up and protect the traverse (for my follower).
yellow alien x2, offset aliens (red/yellow, yellow/green, green,blue), 0.5, 1, 3(x2) camalots. A 3 tricam should also work in the horizontal on the traverse, instead of a second #3 camalot.

Life is not possible without yellow aliens.

Rubbish. For many, many years just having friends was enough

Some friends get sticky!
