The Balconies and Stonghold are great, many "full value" climbs there. I would say it's worthwhile getting rid of the pesky birds to be able to climb there year round.
It was my friend's return to climbing after over a year break. As one would imagine, by the time he got to the first piece to clean I had already squashed his stoke and he said thats the last time he follows me anywhere in Pinns...
when I return you know what you can call it.

He then summoned a condor and was picked up to go back home... ok maybe not the last part but if you do have the chance to climb with this mythical Pinnacles Hardman, take the opportunity, you will not regret the great day.
Special thanks to Brad and especially Gavin for the bolting and rebolting out there. Here's me looking back down Get Smart. Not sure I've ever climbed as full value a pitch at this grade. It's absolutely 10a, and a full 35+ meters of it.
We saw some clustered ladybugs like this too. I also took photos, but didn't upload them. I assume it's an overwintering behavior?
