April 1st Pinnacles Climbers Weigh-in.
« on: January 16, 2022, 02:22:45 PM »
 The April 1st Pinnacles Climbers Weigh-in

 Rules;
 State your current weight, times the number(s) right of the decimal of the hardest route Y.D.S rating redpointed at Pinnacles during the previous 12 months. Weigh sans clothes and gear, (NOTE:valid without pics please). Highest number wins!

 Examples;
Climber A, Weight 138 X Redpoint (5.12) 12 = 1,794
Climber B, Weight 140 X Redpoint (5.13) 13 = 1,820
Climber C, Weight 220 X Redpoint (5.8)    8  = 1,760
Climber D, Weight 185 X Redpoint (5.10) 10 = 1,850

 We have Climber D as the winner!

 Strategy; One may get a hard redpoint in May, then gorge yourself until the following April 1st for an inflated number. If you are a fatty like me, don't grab the draw.

 Prize; BRAGGING RIGHTS and a $100 gift certificate to the climbing shop, gym or bakery of your choice.

 I am looking forward to seeing Atomizer with a double chin.

Making me do math? I had a hard enough time in college holding my breath while weaving.

Fun. But you should account for letter sub grades. If your hardest redpoint grade ends in a letter b, add your body weight again. If it ends with the letter c, add twice your body weight and if it ends with the letter d, add three times your body weight.

 Good point. Letter grades shall have the ascending value of 0.20

Modification;
 5.10a = 10.2
 5.10b = 10.4
 5.10c = 10.6
 5.10d = 10.8
 5.11a = 11.2
 5.11b = 11.4 and so on.

 Strategy; Planned parenthood. Get that hard redpoint in the spring. Plan the birth of your child in May(like me) of the following year for maximum potential weigh in on April 1st. Everyone else, just eat for two for the summer, fall and winter.

 Get boosted on April 1st. That extra.5 milliliters could make the difference.

 Not to worry (Except for what the sneaky Beanoler might be up to). Just post your weight and hardest red/pinkpoint and we will do the math for you. Or do the math and post only the total and let us have to figure out how you came up with that number.

 Note: You may not include the weights of the people you carpool with.

 New Rule to consider to benefit both skinny little rats and lithe, supple climbing goddesses and gods. 90% of excess accessory weight carried on a redpoint, that has nothing to do with accomplishing the lead, can be added to your body weight amount on April 1st. The 10% deduction will be waved if the individual hasn't climbed or worked out in a gym for a year.

 Examples; Cams/nuts/pins on a sport route, water, pack filled with rocks and stolen short-shorts, your partners lunch or cellphone. Not the 11 month-old chilling in the kiddie backpack.

 Of course the 200lb climbers like me could do the same(not likely).  :)

 Input please.

Not sure what you're trying to say, but I may be the only climber on this site who owns a nine inch cam. And if I do understand your post, a nine inch cam might be a game changer.

Lite Beer for you.

You are resigned to repeating new routes to break off the loose holds.

We need additional rules.  What about bonus points for on sights, also age points.

 Hmm, additional rules, but don't want to make it overly complicated.

 I'll work on the on sights, they should count for more.
 
 If an aged individual climbs with Depends, glasses or dentures, has a pacemaker, hearing aid or stint, those items should be weighed and that amount added again to the climbers weight at weigh-in, while wearing them. If a seeing eye dog or emotional support animal leads a route with and roped to you, their weight may be combined to yours(Did Noal ever get that monkey?).

 Drugs and medication of of any kind are allowed, as long as they are reasonably available to everyone. You may represent any country, gender, ideology, or creed, factual or delusional of your choosing. Please refrain from blocking access to approaches while protesting.

 A pocket knife may be carried and allowed at weigh-in. Conceal and carry firearms are prohibited because of the danger they pose of accidental discharge when falling or ricochets while shooting at scorpions, snakes or yellow-jackets in self defense.

 Levitation is strictly prohibited in any form or practice. Though it is impossible and pure fantasy, I have to mention it, as a rumor that one among us has been suspected of levitating, which would negate the relevance of grading of climbs or weight of individuals. Fortunately, all persons will be considered innocent until scientifically proven guilty.

 Visualization is acceptable.

 So, way too many rules. We will have to consolidate this into a simple, short and easily understandable statement. Then patent that process and sell it to the IRS and local planning/building departments.

Definitely more rules,
Pink Points, Flash, Red Point, On Sight, No Sight, Third sight, Orange Sight, YoYo Sight, Siege Points,
This is climbing the ultimate rebel sport so yes, we need rules.  Lots of rules that must be adhered to with religious zeal.

 The stories are you have on sighted more pink points and flashes than any climber alive.

 A book I read recently referred to the propagation of an ideology being practiced with the "Passion of priests".
