Only at Pinnacles... ::)

I should have taken a pic from below that big knob - it looked like a time bomb from below. When I got up to it, the underside was separated but the upper part was still solid and presumably cemented or keyed in or both. I slung it with some confidence and after slinging a better knob above it - weighted it with one foot. The upper part of the climb is a little hairy on the uppermost headwall since you are hell and gone from your last piece of pro (which wasn't great) and relying on sling knobs. It's a good all gear route for a Pinn head. I wouldn't put a beginning leader on it.

Some feedback on the topo: Though somewhat discontinuous, the seam goes almost all the way to the summit. I didn't go up and right as the dashed line shows. I followed the slingable features, the good rock and the LOLR. If you look at the topo it shows a line going to the highest hump/point of rock at the summit which is absolutely right on. It's a pity that the upper seam won't take any pro. At that point you have to use your most valuable piece of gear - your brain(Brad taught me that and LOLR).  :lol: :thumbup: :biggrin:

Like the FBI I cannot comment.  I can leak the info it is 10c/d

Edit: that's not the official rating.  What I meant was it is somewhere between 10c and 11a.  Some crux holds have an expiration date.

In other words, yes, it is a new approach pitch to Humping Lizards. And there is no such thing as 5.10c/d; you should be ashamed of having written that.

Oh wait, I got it confused with something else.  It is 5.9.

I know no shame.

That's funny. It looks really featured and fun.

Oh well, some of us just weren't meant to do certain routes.

Or am I just in DeNoal? :lol:

It progressively becomes more difficult.  In the pic Mr. Mud is @ the crux bulge.

Bulges are hard! Pinnacles seems to have a lot of them.

The photos (all three from the weekend) are nice! Congratulations on finally getting a day of nice weather for your outing.
Inch by inch, I will get there.

^Thanks!  We were talking about how you would cruise the bulge on this route.  How was Sunday in the Valley?
