So is the route ready to be transferred to the "public" portion of the new routes list? That means it will appear on the sticky on this site.

Hesitant to publicly announce...there are still some cherries to pick over there. However, since there is only about 10 people active on this forum...

Munge, your thoughts?

I will say that the tentative name for this line is "From Dawn to Tusk" and is prolly 5.8. Munge, do you think we should give it an "R" rating due to the move above the crux bolt? Not hard, but if someone blew it...

I highly doubt anyone else will bother with that area. The approach is heinous brush crashing thru tick infested grass and gets sopping wet after the rains, and faces north so in the winter it will be useless.


on the R rating, yes if you think the crux move is only 5.8.  maybe after the loose stuff stabilizes a clean stemming solution will go, but I'd let others look at it and make the call.

True, true. The approach is heinous. No need for anyone else to go out there that haven't been already.  >:D

Brad, you know where the routes are. Have you done the other one Rob and I finished over there yet ("HHH")? I would appreciate your feedback.

So you guys finished the Hooked on Munge route?

Nice, 5.8 huh?  How many more bolts?

It was a nice place to hang and slander the leader though.

2 more drilled this weekend.  There were 2 already there to just below the crux. This was before we realized the bottom part of the route should be contiguous with the upper part.

So there's more room for routes? Excellent!

Joe, are you up for a new route?

Hey Mr Mud...is your drill available since you don't go much anymore?

Sweet!

1 more bolt up higher eh?

How was the climbing past the previous highpoint?

Jeff looks wayyyy up there if he ran that out to drill the last bolt!

EFFIN Sweeet.

no more bolts at this point on either line. two lines essentially finished they've had an "FA".

I know Jeff is pretty busy lately, so hope he doesn't mind me mentioning it, but the moves on the one you were part of, past that last bolt you did,... they are thought provoking. we both did the move in a different way. I used holds out right.

the upper corner that it goes into is harder IMO. See pic. The bolt is right at the bulge there. then the holds get fewer.

it's mostly good rock. just superficial scale might come off to allow better stemming at that crux.  if so, maybe it's easier than I thought it was.

Don't mind you mentioning it at all.  :)

Yeah, I went straight up over the bolt you placed, Mucci. It was a little committing, but I think that might have been partly due to the fact that I wasn't quite sure what I was grabbing was going to hold. When Munge came up, I remember looking down at him thinking, "WTF is he doing?" but it worked well for him. I think if I tried it his way, it would have been reachy for me. The next bolt I placed above that point is a ways up, but as we expected the ground is pretty easy from there until you get into the upper tier.

The bulge is interesting and didn't go the way I thought it would. Munge said he found a hold I missed though (buried under some moss) so as he said some cleaning up might make a prettier stemming move available (instead of the hand-foot match & pray move I somehow pulled off on the bulge itself).

I personally think it is a good line and it is great when you can pull off a FA on a long route at the Pinns that requires some trad pro placements. Unfortunately (or fortunately?), it probably won't see much traffic... :'(

Nice gentleman!

Way to take it down, it did look pretty sporty above that bolt I placed, 3-4 moves?

Way to push through it, moss and munge do have ways of sending you to the barnacle party below.

What did you name it, "Mudmen"  or "The Chronicles of Munge" , or Hippo Hooker?

 I know Uber has a dirty mind, and that SHOULD be put to good use!

Cheers

Sorry to disappoint this time, but I think I want to stick with "From Dawn to Tusk".

However, the bottom portion (where all the moss is) shall forever be known as "The Gherkin Merkin".
