Not about Pinnacles, Per se, but i do pay homage. Have Mercy, Mud Masters

Hey friends,

 Had quite the adventure in The Valley recently, Road a trip report about it and talk a lot about pinnacles too. I think you guys might enjoy.

i only use the G-word once or twice...

Funny, I finished reading your report on that other site, switched over to here and I see it again.

Here's what I said there: I could never do what you just did.

You doubled your knowledge of systems, safety, and big walls (maybe tripled your knowledge or more on the last subject)

I meant it too. My first El Cap route was also Triple Direct, but it was my second wall and I'd done a Grade V in a day too. Steep learning curve!

EDIT:

Zay, would you mind if one of the moderators moved your post to the "Everywhere Else" section (I'm not a moderator which is why I pose the question here)? I really like how you inserted Pinnacles into an El Cap report      But the report might fit better there....

[Zay]

Absolutely wouldn't mind at all Brad thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment.. I just wanted a few of you guys to read it too I figured you might appreciate it

 Pin heads love adventure!

If you want I can just take this down and post it there

I wouldn't bother taking it down. I think a moderator can move it over to that part of the forum (Dennis? John?).

On the other hand, if you did take it down and repost, it would only eliminate my comments and your response to them (but is it even possible for one to delete their own thread on Mudn'Crud?)

[Zay]

  Roger that I will leave it up for now until it is either moved or someone cries foul on my transgressions.

started reading it and totally got into it. Then things started going south and then a 911 call, but then there was Raviolis and restored mental capacity. I got worried it wasn't going to end well, so I stopped.


Should I have kept going?

hi munge, its a happy ending in my book. no one got hurt, i just got emotional

Well, that's what big walls are for. Ok, I'll get back to it.

cheers

Brett hands me a can of Chef Boyardi, the last one.

 We have one thing in common, Chef Boyardee at the camp 6 pee station. i couldn't choke down any of the last cucumber, but that ravioli was fantastic.

  We had the route (Nose) to ourselves, ground up, hauled to Dolt first day and got ahead of the horde. No parties within a day or two from us. My blocks were Sickle to El Cap Towers and Camp 5 to summit. Except for the thin section off Camp 5, my leads were very secure, 9 out of ten placements felt anchor quality. Geoff's blocks were the harder ones.
 
 Since then I have majored in pursuing a hobby of eating pasta first, climbing second. I can recommend some reds to pair with the pasta.

 Thanks for sharing!
