If JC was to borrow a pair of Brad's shorts...

That's not gonna happen, even in your wildest dreams.

I thought Jim was Mr 5.10....then again, Mr Mud getting that inked on his ass...priceless.

I've never been, nor will I ever be Mr 5.10

That's what I'm doin' dude.
That section is fun!

Sheep Sheer starts with a 10a bulge followed by this^^^ 9.

Goat Riddance starts with a 5.7 bulge and then a 9.

Forgive and Forgoat starts with a 7, then a tricky and sustained 8, followed by a burly 9.

They are all quite tasty for cabrito

Nice looking route.

Congrats on the lead and the anniversaries

Thanks Mud. You would/will? like the routes.

Noal could also add them to his traxion circuit

Goatmeal, your breakfast masterpiece.

Today was a friggin' blast.
We established a 4th new route at Goat Rock.
We were a party of four.
Gavin and I both drilled 4 bolts apiece.
The climb is 140 feet long.
All on the Fourth of July!

I think that is rather fortuitous.

The only thing that could have possibly been better would have been a 5.4 rating  

Days seriously do not get any better than this

Did you name it "Meet Pie, the Sheep"?

[Gavin]

I think that is rather fortuitous.

You mean "four-tuitous," right?

It was indeed a fun day. We finished things up at Goat Rock in style, with some great new climbs for folks to explore in the (hopefully near) future.

[mungeclimber]

4th goats sake!

[Brad Young]

Sounds like it was a great birthday!

But who were the rest of the "four?" I'd expect the two spouses?

Hammer bangs are my favorite kind of fireworks! Great work, gentlemen!

Nah - we just picked up some high school cuties in the parking lot

Great to hang and work with Gavin and Alacia yesterday. Bonus - Alacia takes some nice pics

I see. So you've been offering rides on your unicycle again?

[JC w KC redux]

With all the new routes, Goat Rock is like a drive-in movie screen for hikers in the High Peaks. It would be a ton of fun to get a crowd of Masters leading the routes at PCAD for a guidebook photo.

Kat and Alacia were shivering at the belay yesterday, while Gavin and I simul-drilled (yes, that's a thing now - part of the new, new way). Even though we were stance bolting in the sun, we got started early enough that it really was not hot - with a nice breeze.
