Pinns after T-Day

[F'ueco]

After T-Day? This pretty much sums up my weekend in one shot: 

[F4?]

double blasphemy.  bud light lime and rap bolting in a pinnacles thread.

Next thing you know Munge is going to start wearing his checkered spandex.


Did they rebuild the Glacier Lodge. WTF were you doing way up there. Thought that was outside of Big Pine.

[mungeclimber]

it's like a 30 minute drive to Big Pine, easy peasy.

checked out the Birkie Boulders, meant to check out Crystal Ridge too, but aberdeen crossing rd had massive holiday traffic and was in a road construction area. instead we went to Manzanar before heading home on sunday.

Munge as penance to you running astray we are bolting your line.  Just to keep it on the up and up we are bolting from stance and using cams in pockets.

[mungeclimber]

sweet, go for it.

bring tiny brass for the seam that will blow out if you fall on it. screamers might slow you down before the pieces pop.

oh, and bring crash pads for the big rock my gal is standing on it's only a few feet away from the wall's base.

helmets are optional of course.





ps- let's do it in Spring so we can skip the bad rock and climb in the portal and do some real stance.

did factor and uber have to do penance for their rap bolting conspiracy?

I have by banging in bolts from stance @ the Pinnacles. So I'm making up for my Table mtn sins.

Table mtn is a whole different world. I bolt going up via jumars and not on rappel. So I see it as a kinda ground up.

It's okay to take a drink from the devil once in a while, right?

[mynameismud]

We will bolt their lines later.

The line we are bolting is in the Pins not that junk in Alabama Hills.  So far 4 bolts from stance and one 21/2" and one 3 1/2" in a pocket.  We had several possible names but perhaps we will go with Robs Line.

"Dance with the Devil, the Devil does not change, He changes you."

[mungeclimber]

Robs Line.

you hurt me with your words

[mynameismud]

Come over here I have a hammer I want to show you.

[mungeclimber]

/Munge naively looks around the corner at Mud

[mynameismud]

Wham, now give me your gear.

[mungeclimber]

only if we're roping up and climbing on it.





-though I do have some old REI elite Ds with the blue gates.  no whiplash issues there, no sireee

You ever seen Mr Mud's gear? I think the REI biners would fit in. I have some omega D's and ovals.
