Speaking of cocky, if we all are not careful as we get older we could become members of the dickey-do club.

Prime Season Granite here.  Last Monday at Granite Basin with Dave Harden a bunch of fun routes on P-Funkamerika Dome.  Next day in Pine Creek, Dave led a recent 35m 5.10a 3 out of 3 stars called "Poseidon" I put up in August.  We then got on a nearby continuation of "PCA" 5.9 where I got up pitches 5 and 6. Did the final (pitch 7) on Monday with brother Bill to belay.  Week before last, an excellent new two pitch 5.10 we named "Diamond Cut" with brother Jon to belay.  So much fun to onsite, placing bolts on lead, free-stance, and such an outlier with all the fixedlinestopdown stuff that goes on around here.  Got to get while we can!

Well come on over and let's get some photos.  I gave my climbing camera to Jaime awhile back and won't use my iPhone that far off the ground...

Yeah, yeah, I'll be over on the 29th as planned (unless I get jury duty).

God, are you not-modern. Most modern climbers climb with their i-Phones in their pockets at all times  :D

You people are playing with fire.

He has more computer knowledge and experience than any of you (maybe more than all of you).

The only reason he hasn't (figuratively) swatted you on this issue like the pesky flies you are is because he hasn't had time.

Well lets put the computer thing in perspective, Jim is the Fruit expert, where they do not believe in right clicking. Still it could be worse, say Unix (Mr. Mud raises his head above the cubes....Unix? Did someone say UNIX, I love Unix! As he gets a tear in his eye).

Now come on, we or some of us would pay $$ to see a GoPro vid of you nailing away. Oh wait, you use Mr. Bosch.
Still it would be cool.

I'll be leaving for work in a little while; after yesterday I need some rest.

Jim and I are now 400 feet up our new route and the climbing looks easier for the next 500 to 600 feet to the top. Whoda thought, Halloween day on perfect granite at over 8,000 feet   ;D

The first pitch bulge:




So far we've used as many gear placements as possible:




Rapping off at the end of the day:




And with this weekend's storm coming in, we might truly be done soon with late season granite....

It's a really nice line. It's got some 5.7 and one section of 5.8 (McConachie 5.8, but I've agreed to call it that).

I'm struggling to come up with a name I like though. I thought about "Don't Look Ethel," but I wonder whether anyone would get it (other than J.C. - no cultural reference like that would ever escape that boy's mind!!).

I think McConachie 5.8 is a fine route name.
