Pinnacles season over?
« on: April 27, 2007, 06:02:05 AM »
Forecast for Pinnacles this Saturday:

Saturday: Sunny and hot, with a high near 96. Calm wind becoming west northwest between 5 and 8 mph.



And I thought Brad was premature talking about next season...  I guess it might be time for my first trip to the grotto?

Saturday, the schedule for the Grottto is one climbers per every two square meters. Get online and you might still be able to make a reservation. I've been in negotiations to have it designated the Tuolumne County Zoo (for weekends at least).

We're going to open up a few more routes to help spead the crowds out.



Maybe you can climb my test piece "Hard Times at the Winking Lantern".

pinnacles season is just getting started.  I love climbing there when it is over 100, you just stay in the shade and bring lots of water.  It doesn't even get greasy like goldwall

I don't know if I'm up for THAT. I was thinking about hitting up that 5.4 testpiece you mentioned yesterday. If you can leave the draws for me...

What's the difference from preserving a hold than making one like you did with the nut tool?

Climbing at the pins Saturday.  We be on the East Side climin so called classics.



Nut tools/picks are always valid.  It does not matter if you use them to clean, as hooks, or as a temporary holder on a bolt hanger.  



Epoxy = bad form.  Let the holds break, cuz it will still go.

And, where we'll be isn't crowded with what you call "tards, so post up a different excuse, that one's getting old.

Make a hold? I recall trundling a loose block. Or are you referring to all of the poison oak I removed from my unfinished route?

I was actually just hoping to juke people into not going to pinnacles while I plan my visits. Instead I started a little quiff... Thats why as a general rule I try to avoid the drill, and the accompanying ethical quagmires. I did place a bolt once, in El Cap, and regretted it ever since- event though it was "off route" at the top of some expanding flake to nowhere. My lunatic partner had convinced me I could pendulum off it to another route 100+ feet away. If only I had brought 10 more, I could have really done some damage!

Bolt it all I say, just bolt it all!



Come to the Grotto and climb some real cracks.  



The place was deserted on Saturday. We put in 2 new lead lines and 1 TR.



Maybe the Mudworm would like to climb there?  :lol:
