No, The Best Part of Waking Up (5.7/5.8?) is our new route on Coffee Can Pinnacle   and not a bad one at that.  If Brad And JC hadn't been busy I'm sure they would have snagged this line

Snagged? I suggested it 

I haven't got it on the new routes sticky yet, but J.C., Tricia and I all did it the next day and thought 5.7. Bold work on your part on those last two bolts!!

But what about stars? It's a nice line and a great location. Very clean of moss and dirt; but the rock isn't as good as I'd hoped. What do you think, a star or not?

I posted pics on the Pins Sunday thread and cross posted below.

Odd thing to do. I'll be posting the route descriptions soon and they contain a link to this thread (for the history of the pinnacle). So anyone looking up the routes, say, two years from now, will have to go search for a thread that will then be way down the list?

In case that happens, here's the link to the other thread with FA photos from The Best Part of Waking Up:

Not really odd since it was what we did Sunday.
This is better than a link since it doesn't go straight to the pics.

OK, that works even better

 If we're comparing it to Your Name Goes Here, Laura thinks that she get three stars ( her words not mine. I don't think she was very impressed with that route ).  Since I didn't do your summit route I can't really compare.   I'd say maybe one star since the upper headwall is steep and fairly committing.   Since it's bound to get a dozen ascents (over the next decade)  i'm happy to hear a consensus.

Since it's bound to get a dozen ascents (over the next decade)

 Over the next half century. I would give it a star.

 Watching Laura boulder up YAGH, I can understand her distaste for it as she fully extended to reach the holds and then did a power drag over the bulge. It looked painful. Reminds me of a few Pinns climbs. The acronym fits.


 BTW, where did you come up with "lasher"? Is it medieval? Goth nickname? S&M?  ? You seemed so normal.

 NQN Brad's birthday is tomorrow.

Happy birthday Brad!!!!! Can you believe it's been a year?

Happy Birthday

Got to finish Hoof It with Brad and clink today. Good day.
It is our 5th anniversary of climbing at Pinns tomorrow with 100% chance of rain.
Maybe a repeat of Triple X is in order
