For me, its:

Buffalo Soldier -It's been 10yrs and about time I lead that sucker

Cataract Corner- Haven't touched it, might as well start working it

Rock around the Clock- New route, need to get on it, W-side though

Buffalo Soldier and Cataract Corner are great choices. They are two of my favorite routes in the park. As for the third, I've never been on it.

Karl! When are you going to climb down at the Pinnacles??

Rock Around the Clock is a new route that Clint & Bruce put up (they need to stop nabbing stellar lines and leave some for us

)

It's up on Machete Ridge next to Bill's Bad Bolts. It has a little A1 and some sections can be freed at 11.

I followed my partner up Buffalo Soldier many years ago. Man, that last sequnce to top out was tricky.

I've been down there twice since I started climbing again. I'll probably get down there as soon as it cools off.

My project is to finish the guidebook. The assembly is done up to route # 850, out of total of 879 routes on the master list. I sent the printer an old Chockstone Press Valley guidebook as a sample regarding paper type, binding quality and front cover material. This is going to be a physically robust book (and expensive to print, but worth it). Hold your breath people, I may once again have a life!

It's not going to be too heavy? Might have to leave it in the car, but then again I'd have nothing to sit on while eating lunch. That's what guide books are for?

Actually you're going to have to choose between bringing the guidebook or your rack.

The Verdict was my project, but on my last attempt I fell on the last hard move before the chains, moving to the crimp right above the last bolt. At the time I had not made the move using the crimp so I did not know where it was. Now that I know where the crimp is I'll be sending the route next time I get down to Pinns. (Hopefully, I am not being over confident.)

Side note: There were two real strong dudes from Santa Cruz down there that both onsighted The Verdict without too much difficulty, thus insiring me to get stronger.

So soon I'll need a new project and I am trolling for suggestions...

Future Shock?

Hard as a Rock?

Black Dagger?

This Bolt's for You?

Anybody got some recommendations from that list or something else?

In that range.

Foreplay

Ranger Bolts to the first chains

Time Stands Still ( you can protect the move to the first bolt with a large cam) or stick clip (bring a tent pole).

My project for the year. Ranger Bolts and Deck Chairs (formally known as Way Below the Direct).

Good choices. I think Foreplay is easier leading than TRing. Or maybe I've been on it leading when I've been strong.

Black Dagger: Way hard, burly boulder problem.

Who's pulled it?

Everyone except you.

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, I won't be making any progress this weekend as I am heading to some big ditch. Apparently there are a few good climbs there too.

Evan

F4? · « **Reply #15 on:** March 08, 2007, 05:42:13 PM »

Tell us more about that big ditch? Is it on Sonora Pass? If it's not on Sonora Pass it doesn't exist.

Note to Mr Mud: DIE!!!

Project list this year...

-Dropping 8 more pounds to get back to climbing weight

-Getting back to running 30+ miles of trails and hills every week

-Topping out on a big wall

-Lead clean as much of the crap I fell on last year as possible

-Not be so negative when I do fall

-Some High Sierra classics (Moongoodess, Fishhook, something...)

-A few more kickboxing and possibly jiu-jitsu tournaments

-All of this while still managing to get my work done on time so I don't get fired.

Yo Ubber, you need to include finishing your route on the eastern front. I didn't see a red sling on it when we were there last.
