John Barbella coming up to the pitch 1 crux in 1982.


me on obtaining the 2nd pitch belay in 1983.


brother Bill following p2 early 2000s


looking down on brothers Karl and Jon from partway up p3 early 90s (the trail line is hanging out from the rock beyond the belay stance and I'm not even at the top of the overhanging section yet...)

In that picture of Karl and Jon it looks like  there is water at the base of Balconies?

That lodestone belay is unreal.

Those are some really cool pics Jim - thanks for posting.

Love the long hair and sideburns  :yesnod: :thumbup: :biggrin: :lol:

Is that rock on the left any good? Looks very featured and interesting.

No water - that's the color of the streak.

The lodestone belay there is likely the most awesome I've experience at the Pinns.

And a moosestashe too (kind of hard to see cause it was blonde in those days)

Here's brother Jon drilling the third bolt on White Punks:


Not long after that I was talking with this also infamous Pinnacles hard-man and he mentioned aiding up the diagonal crack until spotting the bolts just left.  He retreated so as to not intrude on the project in process.

Jack Holmgren on Resurrection (that pin driven in upside down 'protecting' the crux was way scary!!!!!)

Nope, although Jon used some of it to get to the stance (it was raining mudNcrud that day)

That looks like a brutal stemming stance. I woulda gone and stayed left  :lol: :thumbup: :biggrin: :yikes: :nono:

By the way - just listened to The Tubes initial offering so Kat could hear the finale.
Starts out sounding like Zappa, then transitions to a blend of Zappa and Todd/full on old Utopia and ends rockin' hard as only the Tubes can - classic 70's stony dude sounds :biggrin: :thumbup: :yesnod: :lol: :blahblah: :guitar: :arf:

You know the old saying?  If you can't say something nice..., better to say it with style!
