Pinnacles rock is better than Yosemite.

The 1st part of the 1st pitch of resurrection is in the shade. A good runout if I recall.
Jake lead that pitch and found some tat and a faded locking binder. Upon inspection, I recognized said locker as mr muds. I gave it back to him, as is the custom, when you find his gear. I would not want to use it.

There is a very true point here: there is almost no large scale rock fall at the Pinns. Lots of busted holds to be sure that might send you for a surprise fall (usually onto a 3/8" bolt). But it seems like you're way less likely to get hit by anything on the scale of Yos that would kill you walking along the base. Kind of a paradox.

There's the small block that collapsed in recent years near Son of Dawn. But that's all I can think of. Nothing like say: Middle Cathedral every day during summer, Waterfall Wall, Glacier point (three different massive slides), Half Dome (Regular NW, TisSaAck), Clouds Rest, Rixon's, West Face of El Cap, Tangerine Trip, Parkline Slab, Ahwiyah Point...

Yosemite is choosy and loose.

Mr mud taught me that long ago.

Plus why drive all that way to the valley when pinnacles is 1hr and a bit.

I mean...it's the valley...
Why go there if you don't have to?

For me Pinns is an hour and two bits  :lol: :rolleyes:
