Are you sure it's rat shit? It didn't seem to have the right bouquet? I think it's pigeon shit.

The last time up, there was definitely rat shit.  Perhaps there are new tennants.  Bummer if so since I prefer rat over pigeon.

A pigeon is just a rat with wings anyway.

Jake
totally understand.  it's not about the ratings, but the type and quality of the rock, type of climbing, and our own style. I think we're all built in ways that favor the types of climbs we gravitate toward. 
I'm on my way to the valley in the morning for 4 days of climbing and because I like to climb things I haven't done before, and many of the longer routes are either wet or require trampling through snow, I may be looking at some of the wide polished climbs I've avoided.
I'm thinking your approach sounds good.  Maybe I'll wander around, 'warm up' on something easy I've done a number of times, have lunch, and run laps on a TR.  you may have something there.

Don't worry, the bat moves when you get closer.

Now I love Pinnacles and enjoy pushing my limits there. I used to swear off the place- Just ask Factor.
That's cuz I'm letting you use my draws. Yah, he's starting to push it.

Factor,
Thanks for the draws, but it was also my new rope that gave me the trust to lob off. Maybe next time.

Dude, you obviously haven't climbed on Mr. Mud's rope. My cord looks new compared to his.

Well, and in your defense the rope only matters if you fall. You never fall so......

Errrr, worse than falling is when you have to rappel using that manky rope.

What are you talking about? He has upgraded his rope already -- he cut 40 feet off. The average quality per foot on that rope has dramatically improved. :rolleyes:
