So I can't see the shot of me "in the air" on computer or phone. But it might be fun to be able to compare it to some of T's shots?

Must be a Mission Impossible type server. Your photo will self destruct in...

Oddly, I can still see it.

They can jump pretty high! You are not jumping that high in the rope toss pic. it's a really good one.

No pic showing, as fine as the Emperor’s new clothes…

Alright alright, what about now?

I can see it......on my phone.

I can see the photo now - it's a fun capture. I had no idea that I was even jumping while I was tossing

Brad, I was inspired by this photo to suggest the perfect handle for you to use, "Falcon Heavy".

I know SpaceX is trying to launch one such called ship, but there you are already in full lift off, putting a satellite in orbit, and I bet you stuck the landing. The name is yours for the taking.

Nicely done.

Spent the day yesterday doing a little climbing and exploring a bit.
Went up to Upper Slick Pinnacle and did High Viscosity

Past the crux (preferred technique is a backstep butt cheek wriggle-up maneuver)

At the belay

They say it takes a while to get used to the Pinnacles climbing style. I imagine with all your experience with the style it is just subconscious muscle memory at this point.

Got out to the Rolling Stones yesterday. What a cool find, the large lodestones and belaying in a chimney make for a fun experience. It was supposedly only 75 yesterday in Soledad but it was nice and cool inside the chimney.

Pre and Post Step across. On the 5.6*? It starts on 5.4 Eleanor Digby.

Also did Colossus and Titan. I was glad there was chain to rap on Colossus especially. Thanks to the Cooks for adding that.

Sounds like a productive day! That step across is quite exciting for 5.6. Huge holds though... if you find them.

Really great day out with Marco yesterday. Good weather and fun climbing on some new routes. Here’s me on Titan. The Rolling Stones routes were good fun and easy to do all of them in a short time. Overall good routes and many are quite easy but enjoyable for such short formations, the corridor between the two was so cool. To those who found and established The Rolling Stones, good find.

I know of four leads of Titan now. At least three of the four were done in approach shoes (and likely all four - not sure what J.C. wore). I also suspect that all four people who have led it feel like I do about pinnacles at Pinnacles: separate summits are fun. Whether they are class two, three, four or five, great rock to shitty kitty litter, there is something uniquely fun about summiting pinnacles at Pinnacles.

Thanks for sharing the shot.

Fixed the image above so it actually displays. Thanks Marco for sending me a quick Flickr tutorial.

Yes leading Titan in my hiking shoes was ideal. And I completely agree, my favorite thing is getting to a peak or a summit. It's so fun and gives me a feeling of accomplishment. I greatly appreciate these routes that take you to the true summit of a formation.

I did it barefoot in honor of Bare-Toe.

What the heck is on your head in that picture Samir?

Been off the forum for a month and now all caught up in 10 minutes.

Worm hole. Ask for the pics when Pinnacles was just another volcanic eruption.

I told him to put on a bag so the picture wouldn't be ruined.

Though in all seriousness I assume he was wearing a helmet and if not then it is a sunhat he was hiking in. Not sure why his face got worm holed.
