For the record - I am not an "it" hater.


Agreed. You just have a sense of what is appropriate when.

(In my best singing voice:)

"To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time to every purpose, under heaven

A time to climb Pinns, a time to break holds
A time to hand drill, a time to break brush
A time to see friends, that love the place
A time to laugh, a time to weep"

Pinnacles... it's what's for Winter.

Hello, this is Ellen, Brad's secretary.

I'm posting here because this site and thread were up on Brad's computer after he was rushed by ambulance to the Emergency Room. We're not sure what happened, but he was rushed to the E.R. after erupting in very loud, non-stop laughter that wouldn't let him breath. I've never seen him laugh so long and so loud.

Hopefully he'll be OK.

Does anyone out there in Mudn'Crud-land know what he might have been laughing at?

OMG, this is Ellen again. Brad just sped by the office, on Morning Star Drive itself. And he was on a snowmobile!!

What is going on out there in Mudn'Crud land?!?

Back to the topic at hand and possibly a cure for Brad's temporary(?) disorder...

Guess this classic on the West Side:

John B, Paul G, possibly Chris B (not shown), and maybe someone else (not shown), and photographer - me (not shown) on a mass free solo up and back down (early 80s).  No falling allowed!

Another great photo.

I think the route shown is the very first route I ever climbed at Pinnacles. In late December, 1984.

Well, this too deserves my best singing voice:

"Oh, what a trip
Late December back in '84
What a very special time for me
As I remember, what a trip...

Looks like it to me but I faced the other way whilst stemming up to clip the bolt.
And there is a scrub oak in there.
