Only at Pinnacles...

I should have taken a pic from below that big knob - it looked like a time bomb from below. When I got up to it, the underside was separated but the upper part was still solid and presumably cemented or keyed in or both. I slung it with some confidence and after slinging a better knob above it - weighted it with one foot. The upper part of the climb is a little hairy on the uppermost headwall since you are hell and gone from your last piece of pro (which wasn't great) and relying on sling knobs. It's a good all gear route for a Pinn head. I wouldn't put a beginning leader on it.

Some feedback on the topo: Though somewhat discontinuous, the seam goes almost all the way to the summit. I didn't go up and right as the dashed line shows. I followed the slingable features, the good rock and the LOLR. If you look at the topo it shows a line going to the highest hump/point of rock at the summit which is absolutely right on. It's a pity that the upper seam won't take any pro. At that point you have to use your most valuable piece of gear - your brain(Brad taught me that and LOLR).

Cool perspective!

You two are a reckoning to be forced with.

what about the tree shot?

JC w KC redux · « **Reply #991 on:** March 21, 2017, 02:28:00 PM »

Is that the lower pitch for Humping Lizards?

NOAL · « **Reply #992 on:** March 21, 2017, 02:42:33 PM »

Climber from a tree's perspective.

Like the FBI I cannot comment. I can leak the info it is 10c/d

Edit: that's not the official rating. What I meant was it is somewhere between 10c and 11a. Some crux holds have an expiration date.

In other words, yes, it is a new approach pitch to Humping Lizards. And there is no such thing as 5.10c/d; you should be ashamed of having written that.

Oh wait, I got it confused with something else. It is 5.9.

I know no shame.

That's funny. It looks really featured and fun.

Oh well, some of us just weren't meant to do certain routes.

Or am I just in DeNoal?

It progressively becomes more difficult. In the pic Mr. Mud is @ the crux bulge.

mudworm · « **Reply #998 on:** March 21, 2017, 05:33:23 PM »

Bulges are hard! Pinnacles seems to have a lot of them.

The photos (all three from the weekend) are nice! Congratulations on finally getting a day of nice weather for your outing.

NOAL · « **Reply #999 on:** March 21, 2017, 05:42:58 PM »

^Thanks! We were talking about how you would cruise the bulge on this route. How was Sunday in the Valley?
