This is Steven Herbert getting a little too much pump on Foreplay when attempting to exit the pod. He took a really big fall due to belayer error with how Justin was tied in for the belay. Justin was catapulted off the belay ledge and flipped upside down through the air. After this we noticed the bolt hangar was bent.

Steven was part of the original Pacific Edge gang that started 20 years ago. And I mean a gang of crazy kids, making trouble in the gym. We set the precedent for all the other kids who have come since.

We climbed there on Friday and saw a sunset that looked like that. Very nice.

Jeff, what/where were you climbing on Friday? About the only people I could see on the West Side that day were those on Rock Around the Clock.

Like this (location of in-progress route that J.C. is drilling on deliberately indiscernible):

They were right above us, We backed off of a balconies route, then with our tails between our legs we did Twinkle Toes Traverse and Drop Zone, Then played around on Chock Stone dome, the .6 and .8 felt way over rated. We hiked in from the east side rather than the extra driving. We saw one other group leaving the trail and hiking up behind the Flumes. Was that You? Nice Photo BTW. Might be up next Friday if there is no snow.

We've heard that before. You missed Soledad, "gateway to the Pinnacles".

We did see someone at the Bandit Bench belay to start Drop Zone. The 8 on Chockstone felt easy to me last time I did it too but those are still really nice climbs on great rock. I like the drop below the first bolt - I call it Davey Jones Locker

Uncle Stinky · « **Reply #510 on:** December 30, 2013, 02:59:02 PM »

They are both great climbs on great rock just over rated in difficulty. They were a blast to climb. That was us drop zone was fun but dirty and I missed a bolt so it was sort of run out.

The new route looks cool. Can I have dibs on the 2nd ascent?

F4? · « **Reply #512 on:** December 30, 2013, 11:21:01 PM »

Will the holds be soft brushed?

Sorry Atom - the first pitch has already been onsighted twice.

Factor - I've been averse to brushing holds since I climb shit that's been untouched for 30 years - but we actually have done some wire and some soft brushing - AND the 2nd ascenders used some CHALK! Horrors!

Yeah, Steve and Laura both led it. I was pleased that Steve had my daughter Tricia belay him on his lead. Tricia's climbed that first pitch twice too.

All three of them thought that pitch was 5.6, possibly 5.7 and fun. Both Dawsons thought two out of three stars (much of the fun is due to the route's position and length - like any new Pinns route it still has some dirt and loose rock; a good rain will go a long way on that, as will more ascents).

Nothing cutting edge, that's for sure, but I think it will be nice, very well protected addition.

Aaron McDonald · « **Reply #515 on:** December 31, 2013, 12:15:45 PM »

Nice job! Looks like a fun route.

Atomizer · « **Reply #516 on:** December 31, 2013, 03:57:55 PM »

Damn! If its only going to be 5.7 maybe I should freesolo the rest of it and let you know what to expect.
