Camping

[shenoa]

We were the noisy bunch down in #10 on Saturday night.  My apologies to whoever put in the noise complaint.  I counted 18 around the campfire that night.

Since I'm not sure what you or Landshark look like, I have no clue if I saw you.  I don't have much trad experience and Pinnacles hasn't been recommended as a place to hone those skills.  So, we just hung out around Swan Slab on Sat/Sun: Oak Tree Flake, Penelope's Problem, Claude's Somethingorother.  All in all, it was a kick ass weekend. 

Once I get more confident, I'm aiming for After Six and Munginella.  I heard aid climbing is a great way to get confident with trad fairly quickly, so I may go that route to get my butt in gear.  Heh.  Couldn't resist.

well see, there's yer problem right there... the gear actually goes in the butt, to prevent you from crappin yer pants on the scary aid climbing..  as they say 'it just Depends'...


  

LOL!!

nah, you wouldn't have seen us then, thought you may have been climbing with them but further down at Moby Saturday.

butt I definitely recommend aid climbing to get comfy with gear.  Pinns, eh, not so much.

I recommend climbing at the Pins regularly to get comfortable with your abilities.

If you can climb 5.9 in the Pins you can climb 5.9 anywhere.

Mud, I'm set then!  Although there was a 5.9 start at Swam Slab that took several tries cause it was slick as snot.  It took me down a peg till I finally figured it out.  I was humbled nonetheless.

Oh hey, remind me never to lead with Munge, I don't want him thinking he can just stick his gear where the sun don't shine.  He's got funny ideas about placing gear.

[mungeclimber]

me?

nah

Yep Munge puts his junk in weird places.

[squiddo]

[mungeclimber]

Yep Munge puts his junk in weird places.

yup, tis called "putting it in the BACK of the truck"

before I do that I put red nailpolish on it, so it doesn't get lost or stolen before hand.
