Quest for Mud (Special Edition)

[JC w KC redux]

Thursday was too wet to do much.
We had a nice hike, picnic with plenty of sunshine at a secluded overlook and I replaced one old bolt later in the day.
I decided not to climb Numbskull's Needle again to do the rebolt.
I removed all my tools and hardware from the stash up there and will move on to other more worthwhile projects.
I did replace the first bolt about a month ago, so anyone that gets on that route (likely no one, ever) they will get a nice Oh Shit moment when they find the second bolt.

We had a little fun yesterday.
Deb did a proud lead of Ali Baba.
BAP should be sending some good pictures of that when she gets home tonight.

I had a great day today at Pins, but it was windy and cold.  I started out doing "The Maze - High Point" and then moved on to "Glad Stone". I doubt I went up the right slot since I had then then down climb to the shoulder.  From there I did "Half Platte".  While I was on "Half Platte", Condor 0 landed on the top of Peel Pinnacle to watch me.  I then did "Slip'n Slide" with the start of the pitch in fifth class terrain since it was wet.  Next up was "Almost Always".  I agree with Brad's description of the chimney/ramp being easy but awkward.  Then I did the excellent route "The Stroll".  At the end of the day, I did "Mescaline Mound" and "The Clump - Scrambler's Route".

It's pretty clear to me that Deb has or is about to join the exalted ranks of the mistresses of mud (along with Kat, Laura and Jenn).

Very impressive lead!

Wow, Mark - Jenn and I might have walked right under you when you were on Scrambler's Route. We would have been pretty hunkered down though and not looking around - damn that wind was cold!

 Nice ones!

 I do present a rather large target. I did manage to chuck 12,000+ pounds of concrete in a few hours, onto my road last week. Was a bit stiff, but feeling froggy now. The nice thing was that the neighbors chipped in $500 bucks to cover half the materials this year.

 There was a little girl,
            Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
            When she was good,
            She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was the most innocent looking.

Been there, done that. Did you bail off onto Little Richard?

Check out Once Around the Backside and Rumbling Rampart (rebolted)

Still no Bill's?

Friendly suggestion - try choosing a smaller file size from whatever you're using to post photos so we can see your picture (I choose medium on Flikr). You can also try the Preview button to check and see if it is working correctly. 

I did a save as so I could see your pic but most of the old farts on here won't want to bother.

Where is your belayer?

Surprised to see the creek bed totally dry.

How did you like the replacement anchor?

I noticed the top of that big dead tree broke off recently and is still laying on the rock near where you scramble up to the anchor.

EDIT 8-20-20
After never receiving a response from djh650 I downloaded his picture and uploaded it to my Flikr account - then re-posted it so it could be seen. Maybe at some point he'll see this and re-post and let me know - or not.

I'm not sure I need any of this stuff but I think clink needs the t-shirt and the cams since squeeze chimneys will be offwidths for him
