Somethin' like that with a dash of the movie Groundhog's Day.

I think Marco might have a bit of a grudge about Dementia.  Which would put Mikayla Between a Rock and a Hard Place.

Holy hell what knee slapper.

My grudge is with Gavin. He set the route after all.

One doesn't "set" real routes.

God, you are just a damn kid. We're gonna have to figure out just what to do with you....

I was able to take the girls out on the old railroad grade today. Only half a mile out and back ("normal" is a mile and a half outbound and then back). I think I'll be about back to normal in a week or so (Clink will now question what "normal" is in this context, or if such a thing can even be).

There's beginning to be a hint of spring out there. Which means that we'll have to finally get one good snowstorm before that season actually arrives.

Nice try, I've been to a gym (where the realest routes are). I know the movement on a route is a direct reflection on the character of the developer.

In this case any injury on the route is also a reflection on the developer as well.

Every time I hear from you and or see your posts I get to reflect: "yep, this kid really is extraordinary."

Extraordinarily bad as shown by the routes I've set  ;)

 Set? Geez! God set those routes!

 As far as a Pinnacles Climbing is concerned, that is Gavin.

This is exactly right^

I probably shouldn't be admitting this as it was told to me in confidence by Gavin... He said the true crux of climbing at Pinnacles for him is creating these formations and routes, then having to wait a while to pretend to discover them. Ever wonder why all his routes are phenomenal? Much like Brad he has a list, only this is undeveloped 3 star routes in the park. He just takes time between FAs as not to raise suspicion.
You found and started Dementia but Gavin knew it was there since he created it. He was just biding his time waiting for the excuse to work on yet another 3 star route, without raising any red flags of course.

Is Pinnacles Monotheistic or Polytheistic?  If there are multiple gods who are they and what are they gods of?

And if the answer to any of these queries is "yes," is the reservoir created by a God dam?

 In reference to the reservoir dam, I theorize this is deeply steeped in conspiracy. We must get to the bottom of it, as draining as it will be!

 Marco, you are also right. Most, if not all religions have 3 star elements and multiple red flags.

 The Creation that is Pinnacles on the other hand, north from the mountains south of the Hand, to a short jog beyond where the Great Minds thought their great thoughts, is completely pure and wholly worshipable.

 Let’s pause for a moment while JC pukes into a hand hewn stone cistern.

Hand hewn stone cistern? One of my not infrequent failed bolt holes?

 Your holes did improve when you stopped using your acorn pestle and switched to a proper hammer. To think of all the time that we save now compared to your early days climbing. No more selecting the perfect strong limb to fit in a tediously drilled mortar, days of gathering and braiding vines.

We Neanderthals favor acorn pestles for bolting and back-scratching. They're great for acorns, too.
