There's pieces of granite mixed in here and there at pinnacles. Otherwise, granite? Pfft.


Crowds and hordes and rangers and rules and hassles. Pfft.

Granite without those things is great (although, obviously, not as great as Pinns).

Yep. Although Clink and Geoff do appear to be having quite a nice time on that granite stuff. Why are the photos so tiny and why do I have to log in to see them? Weird. ;)

It's because Clink is a stubborn, dinosaur of an old-fart codger.

He tremulously figured out how to post photos two years ago. It's the wrong way - no-one can see them adequately. J.C. in particular tried to help him fix this. But even J.C., who regularly works with rocks, couldn't get through to Clink.

God help him, he knows not what he does (love you Jon - mean it!).

Super weird. Clink, get a photobucket account already.

Almost just like the Pinnacles.  There's solid rock and choss rock (but lots more of both).  As long everyone is having fun it's good stuff.  It was great climbing with Jon and Geoff.

Day four. Pre-breakfast dikes. Beer for  breakfast at 11.

Franken Cookie Munster, Horseshoe area is fun.

Sorry Noal for the ineptitudalidge with the pics.

Brad, I love you and Mr. Mud too. Looking forward to an unplanned bivouc, I call middle. Speaking of which, Noal looks cuddly like a koala bear.  Mud kept him to himself through the bitter cold winter climbs.

Last nights dinner rocked.

A pic of rock for JC and Munge.

Beer for breakfast and it wasn't even Sunday. ???

Let me guess. Chili verde enchilada smothered in bean slop and rice? Yum! :yesnod: :thumbup:

Thanks for the crud. Looks like weathered slate. You should boulder up a bit and test it out :idea:

That boulder has a couple really good problems on it.

Yes it does - too bad you didn't get a picture of the end result of Noal giving me a spot.   ::)
