I added five routes to the list today:
- 468.041. Breaking Badger 5.7 *
- 468.042. Toad Haul 5.10c **
- 468.043. Holey Moley 5.7 ***
- 468.044. Rat Reaching Right 5.10a **
- 663.2. See You Saturday 5.4
Of these routes, those at Wind Willow Rock (the first four in this entry) got my attention in a very good way. Much of the rock on these routes seemed almost like granite. And the moves? Unusual stuff for Pinnacles. The 5.10a, Rat Reaching Right, is a good example. I pulled this off on sight, on lead. But I got stuck at the crux for at least five minutes (it seemed like 20 minutes; sorry again Alacia for the "extended" language). Weird moves? How about unconventional. And fun. This route could be 5.10a but it could be 5.10b or 10c. How to rate this type of stuff, which only seems "not so bad" after you're through it? Probably you just give it a 5.10a. Wind Willow Rock is a very nice location too.
