Washington (CNN)  President Mungie proclaimed Thursday he was withdrawing the US from the Pinnacles Climb It accord, a sweeping step that fulfills a campaign promise while acutely dampening global efforts to curb Pinnacles climbing.

Speaking from the Ahwahnee Hotel, Mungie said he was open to renegotiating aspects of the agreement, which was inked under his predecessor and which sportos, except two have signed onto.

Mungie and Pinnacles don't mix, and that will have lasting consequences.
But he was withering in his criticism of the pact, which he cast as a humiliating defeat for
for Sierra climbers that unfairly advantaged mud masters.

"At what point does Granite get demeaned? At what point do they start laughing at you as a Pinnacles climber?" Mungie inquired during an afternoon event held in a sun-drenched Camp 4.

"We want sick crimps and granite slabs," Mungie said. "We don't want other climbers to laugh at us anymore."

With all apologies to CNN.

I thought they changed the name of the hotel?

You'll make your way back to the mud - just as we made our way back to bacon after trying free range veganism.

I don't care if other climbers laugh at me - plus if I am climbing crud, I can tear off a piece and chuck it in their direction.

I am not ash-shamed of climbing mud.

I may take the same oath as Noal and climb only at Pinns.

Have a beer, or three and sleep on it. But don't sleep on the beer as that would make it warm.

I'm not worthy.

My power went out. Does that mean I'm going to have to start paying for sunshine?

 Great cheese by candlelight may be an option.
