RR where people protect early and often.

Fun place.

Still have a 10d there to reconcile with.

[F4?]

RR is okay. Still not the Pinnalces.

Be careful or else you'll end up like this guy....scared!

I have two 5.10d routes there to get clean. Which one is on your list?

[mungeclimber]

Can't recall the name. Up and climber's right of Black Corridor/Gallery.

You're absolutely right - Nothin' is the Pinns
And don't worry, i looked just like that guy - plenty scared...that soft rock didn't seem sturdy enough for the gear not to rip out, so i sewed it up the best i could and climbed like my life depended on it - come to think of it that's how i always climb

[mungeclimber]

Gasp! That's a sport climber's area!! 

OH THE HORROR!!! 

[Brad Young]

OH THE HORROR!!! 

Yes, "the horror." Actually, let's face it, sport climbing can be fun.

Both of my projects there are shady, mutipitch routes where the crux pitch is a right facing, 5.10d corner/crack (Nightcrawler and Wholesome Fullback, both very good climbs).

[mungeclimber]

Sounds good, but definitely spring time objectives

Adam, tell me those shots were taken (at least) a few days ago? It's raining hard here and snow line is only 1,000 feet higher than the house!

Nice colors, by the way.

Wholesome Fullback

Good lord Brad, will you even fit in the chimmney on wholsom fullback? Go up and over. My bro squeezed through to the belay.

There's a Clevenger route that you rap over, that looks cool. Except for the lack of bolts.

Keep the pictures coming...

[Atomizer]

Brad, we climbed RA > Crest Jewel Direct on Saturday. But this time I didn't get he 10d clean. I guess I need Joe to lead that for me in order to send.

[cobbledik]

OOOOOOOh, I love love loved Wholesome Fullback. After climbing the first pitch of Ixtlan, we got over to WF after dark and I led the first pitch in the dark then rapped back down to finish the climb the next morning. The hands corner on the opposite side of the pillar you rap off of is damn good too.

edit: Just went and looked it up, the pitch I was talking about was the 10d pitch of Our Father. Super fun but pumpy.

And, whoops, I was talking about the 5.10d pitch of Our Father too (the danger of going by memory). I onsighted Wholesome Fullback. It was the 10d pitch of Our Father that I fell off of.

I'll be back.

[cobbledik]

Yup, I fell off Our Father too. Need to move faster next time and trust the bomber pro before the pump sets in.

How come Aaron is rockin' and i'm slippin'?

on the subject of that race...Wait a minute - that was 5.4 against 5.7 and you never said Go!

on the better half...isn't that the leader?

i think you found your lead head! Like Like Like Like!!!!

nice shot of Aaron on Rightfoot! - we didn't get any of that one cuz KC was leadin' and i was belayin' her + i couldn't watch him and then onsight it

[Brad Young]

Alright,, although I admit it's been very slooow in coming, your weekend trip got my attitude much closer to Pinnacles season. Just two more weekends of wrapping up projects up here (so they'll make it into the book)...

[JC w KC redux]

i've got a TR coming to compliment crux's - just haven't found the time yet - i know...make the time!
