Sorry but the editor caught a typo on PRS - Neal Elkins
Sounds like a cool route. I will have to check it out when I go back to Pinch or Lynch.

Other descriptions look good but I am curious as a Kat about the origin of the name Fels Rock.
What the hels wrong with me? 

[NOAL]

What?

[Brad Young]

What?

How in hell did you do that so fast?

[Brad Young]

Sorry but the editor caught a typo on PRS - Neal Elkins....

I just went out and told Ellen about this typo. And then I fired her. She may be calling you.

I can't believe anyone actually reads this shit.

Actually, I didn't fire her. It still cracks me up though that she'd never, ever consider climbing and yet she knows what most of our odd and climbing-speciifc phrases mean. She also knows all of you  

I fixed the typo.

Mud and "Neal" decided that "Fels Rock" sounded better than "The Rock." Their rationale was that "Fels" in German means "rock." They liked the sound of the name and the inobvious double meaning. I checked with my business partner Scott about "fels" (he's quite fluent in German). Technically it has a meaning closer to "cliff" than "rock," but that seems pretty close.

I hope you two are OK with me telling your story?

I changed the name to Fels Rock in the other descriptions of routes in the area. And I changed Shades of Jade to three stars. Shades of Jade has really cleaned up well.

Tobias placed the second bolt on Up the Buttress.  He's from Germany.  I think that played into the German name influence. He had only gone climbing a couple(few?)times outdoors and never at Pinnacles.  There's a cool photo of him on some thread drilling with a turkey vulture flying behind him.

Thanks for revealing that origin. I'll be able to sleep tonight.
Fels is also the start of feldspar - a major mineral component of the crud (Kspar gives it the salmon pink color).
I remember the day Tobias was out there. It was the day I had the pleasure of leading Shades.

I can't believe anyone actually reads this shit.

OCD ya know 

I can't believe someone didn't ask me if I wanted a list when I asked what the hels wrong with me. clink may be losing his touch 

[mynameismud]

Nah, we just do not have that much time plus no one wants to crash the forum (that is a lot of volume)

[Brad Young]

OCD ya know 

Never heard of it....

 My favorite typo is Caleb Rightmyer as Rightbottom on Curvature.

I added these three routes to the list today:

-  305.5  Young and Single  5.6 R

-  310.8  Hammer in My Heart  5.4 *

[clink]

 Talk about a wallflower. Prominently Ignored.

[Brad Young]

I added the following three new routes to the list just now:

-  305.63  Disposable Income  5.8

-  305.65  Love ‘Em and Leave ‘Em  5.7 *

-  305.66  Things Not Rings  5.3

As can be seen, I also modified the description for Young and Single which is no longer the first route on/near The Bachelor that appears on this list.

I’ve got four more routes to add. I’ll get to these this evening after I pick up Tricia and have dinner (I hope).

[Brad Young]

OK, I added these:

-  310.4. Pebbles and Bam Bam  5.8 *

-  310.5  Betty and Barney  5.6 *

-  310.6.  Tooth Fairy  5.2 R

-  310.7  Long in the Tooth  5.8 **

I also changed the descriptions slightly for Hammer in My Heart and Molar.

Now I can go pick up Tricia.

[JC w KC redux]

Very nice. I just found a couple of very minor typos (2 that are probably meaningless in the long run/for the book).
On Pebbles and Bam Bam and Long in the Tooth the c in my last name is lower case after "post by"
FA date on Tooth Fairy is shown as 2018 but it's 2017.

Thanks for some excellent descriptions and all the hard work.
