Arch - Up the Center was very physical and way mental (for both of us). I led it on mostly blades and arrows driven straight up:

John learned to jumar under the most difficult, even brutal, conditions imaginable:

Here's my arm afterward:

A very good day, thanks to John and to Tricia (and Mucci, you ain't no slouch either - the confidence that replacement bolt gave me when I got out to the lip of the roof is indescribable - thanks for doing that work with me!).

And Tricia got this classic photo today: me between the legends:

Congrats on the lead. That is a cool looking line.

Waved at JC and KC on Saturday but I do not think they recognized me in the different vehicle.

Thanks, I was glad to get it done.

It was scary enough that last night, about 15 minutes after I fell asleep, I woke up with a start: I'd not only heard, but felt (in my sleep) the last Knifeblade ripping out as I hung on it. Thankfully this happenend only in my sleep, and not while I was on the climb

That might happen to me tonight - you should have seen me go sliding down the scree slope on my side on the way out today. clink said I controlled it nicely. Better there than on the route

It was good to get out. I noticed the helmet right away.

Did not see you after we parked or I would have drop by to say hey.

Didn't Mr Mud Free this?

mynameismud · « **Reply #610 on:** February 19, 2014, 09:52:30 PM »

In my dream I did, but in my dream I did it (the climb) with the lovely goddess.

Brad Young · « **Reply #611 on:** February 19, 2014, 10:01:01 PM »

Here, I fixed it:

mungeclimber · « **Reply #612 on:** February 19, 2014, 10:38:04 PM »

I like aid bouldering!

F4? · « **Reply #614 on:** February 20, 2014, 08:29:50 AM »

No, that is the roof crack that goes out the roof over the bouldering traverse on Machete.

here is a shot of the roof from an different angle.

F4? · « **Reply #616 on:** February 20, 2014, 10:28:45 AM »

I would like to take this moment to remind folks of the great roof traverse.

Cool route. odd climbing and really, really good rock.

mungeclimber · « **Reply #617 on:** February 20, 2014, 10:38:53 AM »

pft, sure the rock is good. sure.

F4? · « **Reply #618 on:** February 20, 2014, 12:19:24 PM »

I'm 100% serious. the great arch is a good route.

It's an odd climb. Midway is this chimney that you have to get into and then out of.

I didn't want to follow Mr Mud, but had no choice after he lead it.

You won't regret it.

There is no Great Roof or Great Arch route listed for Pinnacles - if yer discussing some crap at the valley on the pinnies thread I think we need to exile you!
