For the third weekend.  Yo Mama Step Across, perhaps it should be called Clints Crimp Fest.  Short but Fierce. 

Stepping off a boulder and doing 4 moves doesn't seem all that hard, but it is.

I'm surprised. So, what's your plan, keep trying or go on  to something else for now?

If it is not raining I will be there next weekend.  The Mudworm gets big props for her patience.

Maybe buy a pair of new shoes for starters??? mudworm can always put L & R for you instead of wearing 2x different pairs.

Maybe shedding more weight? I hear lycra is pretty light.

Mr Mud,

I too think you deserve a pair of new shoes. Blame it on the rubber. Either that or a stepladder.  :P

Factor - DIE

The stepladder approach most likely will present the best results for the money.

F4 and Squddo, I'm totally with you on the new shoes. Stuffing the shoes with laundry drying sheets does not help at all and even the drying sheets become stinky too!!!

Sent it*

Sent it: On one of the tries, he got all the moves.
*: Above the crux, his left foot popped (a little pebble audibly broke off below his foot). His right hand was bomber though. He almost certainly would have caught himself. However, I just took in the rope, so the rope came tight too.

He is determined to go back and erase the *.

you know I have to, even though it makes absolutely no sense given that he's really already done it.

Yep, dab.

I definitely weighted the rope.  When the pebble broke my left foot went which caused my left hand to go.  First thing through my mind was DAM here I go again.  I felt the rope as I was rotating out.  Right hand and right foot were very good.  My brain finally kicked in and pulled in hard with both.  The pause killed it.

Managed to get the critical 4th move twice.  First time my left foot kept skating second time the hold broke.   Arrgggghhhhh. 

The weather was beautiful and the crowds were fairly mellow.  The wild flowers are starting to bloom.  Perfect time of the years.

Posted from the Blue Butterfly Inn. Stuck climbing in the Valley.

I agree with Mr Mud, bleminshed ascent. But, good work, sounds like you'll get if for sure, and soon.

Among other routes, we did an interesting new 4 pitch 5.8 on Reed's yesterday.

I cannot get this route out of my mind.  It is incredibly crimp intesive.  We basically traded off climbing.  I would give Yo Mama a burn then Mike and and mudworm would do a route.  Back and forth till my fingers were fried.  Since after 2 or 3 try's I have to give my fingers a rest for 20 minutes or so.

Both Mike and mudworm agreed that I could say that I had done the route but an asteric has to be placed behind the ascent.  Now, all I have to do is remove that asteric since it is burning a hole in my brain.

Between climbin and bikin my whole body is sore.

Brad, I don't know what squiddo wanted to hear, but I want to hear more about that new 4 pitch 5.8. We might make it a project of ours if/when we get out to Yosemite again.

Karl,
  Give Yo Mama (the TR version) a try and let me know what you think.  Is it just me or is this route particularly difficult.

  I always climb in a bikini, since my bottom is soooo sexy.

Mud,

My friend Duane did Yo Mama and didn't find it terribly difficult.  Maybe it is hard to start from the step across and somewhat easier to climb into.
 
Where does the TR step across start?  Isn't the route a step across already? 

As for checking it out, I have tentative plans to be in Pinns (the first time since May) in about a week.  I'll try to get on it.
