And a couple more cropped and enhanced for detail. That big hole doesn't seem to be good for much at first and then you find the undercling (spoiler alert). The left hand hold (side cling) is hidden and a welcome surprise. I still can't believe I was lucky enough to get to work on this climb - all credit goes to Noal - man...what a find!

That last one looks like you're climbing with snow falling!

Special Defects?

Got a reminder that two days ago was the anniversary of finishing Here's Mud In Your Eye and the beginning of a great summer.
The summer of mud to be exact.
Good times.

Got nuthin' else to do at the moment.

The pukes are for the song. Possibly some of the worst music EVER.

I LOVE that song!

Be even better if Neil Young covered it.

The barf at that time for me was the emergence of bands like Journey/Steve Perry.
It signaled the end of an era.

Cool looking line

Yep tis nice. Would be good this weekend. Shady and up high.

It would appear this site is now defunct.

Is this some type of seasonal affective disorder?

I know Gavin is still there but he rarely posts anything about his climbing.

Rumor has it that Noal is lurking on the west side.

I'm still waiting to be resurrected from the dead.
Do miracles happen?
Only time will tell.

Imagine yourself travelling through another dimension, a dimension only of sight FUBAR.
A journey into a land whose boundaries are constantly blurred and superimposed.
Imagine some unknown force jerking the rug out from under what was your life and then laughing in your face.
That's the signpost up ahead - your next stop but you can't read it - the Cockeyed Zone.

The site's not defunct. It's just hard to think about Pinnacles when you know it's gonna be 108 degrees Fahrenheit there.

My summertime posting here is usually just PCT stuff and it isn't clear that that can/will happen this year. So, if I'm not posting, consider me to be in "anticipatory pouring."

NOAL · « **Reply #2295 on:** July 20, 2022, 06:48:46 PM »

This site is not defunct. It has tons of useful info. From what I can gather there are quite a bit of people who lurk on here (and rarely or never post) that are searching for info. The info as far as I can tell pertains to :

1. How to put up a new route
2. How to replace bolts
3. Are there any aid climbs that have not been freed.
4. Ground up vs. Rap bolting.

To the lurkers : the information you are seeking can be obtained by participation. This site is here for everyone (and hopefully) future generations. Post up and you might get better results than what the repeated searches have supplied you so far.

One of them is staying here now, ready to climb with us tomorrow. He's gonna get a lecture in a few minutes....

He was asking earlier this evening about Arch - Up the Center. I pointed out that there is a whole THREAD on the damn thing.

He's about to get a second lecture about how sites don't thrive without participation....

I also get that more than half of the stuff on the forum is rather goofy inside jokes between a smallish group of people that are all friends.

In the off season it is perfectly acceptable to take a break from that banter. And yes there is an off season for Pinns. The summer time might get a anomaly 70 something degree day but June thru September are generally brutal. There are people being carried out from heat exhaustion on the regular. It is not to be taken lightly.

So if we don't talk about Pinns during the summer that's OK. I think at its best this forum is to document.

It's just SAD.

You're both being too serious for me and the site is indeed defunct.

I like that word and so does Kat.

Perusing the site for recent activity is like driving down Hwy 66 wondering what the hell happened and remembering the way things used to be.

Those days are gone forever...I should just let 'em go but...

clink is in retirement now and so someone else has to try and start trouble.

Mud moved away.

F4 is still looking for a bathroom with the best view.
