So if Jim or I posted photos of today's class three chute up a 13,500 foot peak, that wouldn't fit either?

Can I at least mention the name? What a great name: Cloudripper Peak.

Much appreciated.

Not appreciated in the least.

Keep it up and I am going to do something rash.

Hey MUD - can you lock this thread to keep the bozos from jackin?

Oh...wait...you are one of them.

Have you all not heard about the menacing clown ordinance?

I promise, I'll stick to Pinns-related stuff in this thread, and that I'll start another (short) thread as I indicated. (First I've got to find time, which I will this weekend.)

Your normal PO rash or do you have a new special type?

Mud, we found an unclimbed pinnacle that may have no decent rock on it. When will you be here next?

This Forum was jacked the day it was created.

Just so you all know, it was my suggestion to ask Mud about this - clink is a THIEF!

Today’s adventure was dominated by the winds of insanity. There were gusts up to 35mph. Kat led Satyr and then I worked on the rappel anchor. After that, we started a new route across the slot. 2 bolts so far on decent rock in a water streak. The Hedonist. We’ll finish it next time out. Should be a nice addition to Satyr and the other lines we’ve got an eye on out there.

Kat suns her toes after leading Satyr.

Stance for bolt 1

Stance for bolt 2

Looks like rain may actually put a damper on things tomorrow.

Sorry to miss that. KC looks happy on Satyr. Did she dangle her feet over the void?

She did not - but she did a great job leading the route and downclimbing the nubs and horns to the revised rappel anchor - part of the new, new way - although no TR FA's were done from the revised anchor

I was surprised she stayed up there in the wind while I was working.

Still no rain on the gauge but 60% chance today with winds equal to or stronger than yesterday.

I felt a few tiny drops yesterday on stance but I wasn't deterred from my task.

Looks like it will heat back up and be clear for the work weekend.

Here's Mud in Your Eye!

The rain gauge still has not tipped at Pinns. Unfreakinbelievable!

Wind gusts to 38mph. Lip service from a blow hard.

Should have gone and finished the route!

That is unbelievable - you'd think they'd a got something out of three straight days of "maybe."

Here at home we've gotten 5 1/2 inches now since Friday!!! That's per the National Weather Service site with the pipper placed right over our house. Damn close to "good riddence fire season" up here in one good storm

clink · « **Reply #117 on:** October 16, 2016, 08:32:39 PM »

We are at close to ten inches. Trees down and there are many minor slides. The transformer on our pole blew, rain extinguished the fire.

JC w KC redux · « **Reply #118 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:21:04 AM »

That is crazy dudes! Doesn't sound like you'll have to quest very far for mud.
I doubt it's bentonite though - probably smectite or illite.

The Pinns gauge finally tipped after midnight and stopped this am - a whopping .07 inches total.

5:37   14.44
4:37   14.43
3:37   14.43
2:37   14.43
1:37   14.42
0:37   14.37

I finished The Hedonist today. 4 bolts in 95 feet to a 2 bolt anchor. I'll add rappel chains next time out. There is a 4th class route from the anchor to the summit of Goat - EDIT Old Goat Hoofs It No bolts.. Just kick it old school and walk off.
