The new route activity doesn't seem to be slowing much (and people are still having fun!). I added another route today that was established yesterday:
287.4 Cracklin' Rosie 5.9
And here's the full description on this thread for the time-challenged:
287.4 Cracklin' Rosie 5.9 This route is on a previously unclimbed formation called Kat Pinnacle. Kat Pinnacle is 250 feet west of Kaparek's Pinnacle, and 250 feet north (uphill) of Pinky Pinnacle. It is a fairly large, independent pinnacle with a north-to-south split through the summit (a noticeable manzanita grows in the split). Approach Cracklin' Rosie from the north (uphill) side of the pinnacle, along a ledge that extends along the formation's east side, almost to it's south face. Climb a 15 foot face that leads into a low-angle water chute. Two closely spaced bolts protect the steep section of this route; a single belay bolt was also placed on the rock above the start ledge (the ledge is 50 feet off the ground at that point). There is a two bolt belay at the top of the water chute. FA Party: Brad Young, John Cook, Noal Elkins. FA Date: January 3, 2016. Source(s): Self, part of the first ascent party.
And yes, I named the pinnacle itself, and I did it in honor of Kathy Cook ("Kat"); she deserves the honor since she's a hell of a Mistress of Mud.
