Now that El Capitan has fallen, Machete must be next.

 Only a Meanderthal would free solo at Pinnacles. (or repeat the 30 worst rotten runouts)

I think the route would have to be Machete Direct.

Personally I would rather unicycle down p4 of Old Original.

I say solo Bandits in Bondage, bottom to top. Aid section can be overcome with climbing holds clipped into the bolts.

Muchshitty Direct would be cool as well.

After some more thought - How about Cuidado? Wouldn't that be more appropriate?

On aid - I barely made it to the last bolt before the free climbing starts on pitch 1 of that  :yesnod: :thumbup: :biggrin:

Yes Joe qualifies for the 1st shirtless ascent.
what's he doing soling?

1st he has to bike to the pinnacles and now he has to solo.

Where does he stop?

I've done several of the West Side's picnic tables one-handed - I was holding a Tecate in the other.

 Waldo, I haven't seen your picnic tables move but I have seen you do the one-handed Tecate sit start off the West Side Parking lot asphalt few times.
