I take all my photos with the Iphone now. Bad quality lenses make good photos with my mind.

consoled myself with a couple solo runs up Big Bad West after the downer on Lucky 13...
KC led it before each run and then we just let the rope drop through the draws...

Solo as in "free solo?"

not a good habit to get into.

I blame Mr. Mud. He used to solo all kinds of shit, he told me one day. Mostly since then I thought about Pinns as a viable place to solo, whereas before I did not. Unequivocally. But when I think about it, there's so many 4th class solo summits and easy 5th class routes it kind of lends itself to it. Not that I recommend it, but I understand it, at least at an easy level.

Mostly it's just choss and needs lots of bolts!

mynameismud · « **Reply #136 on:** July 30, 2012, 10:04:20 PM »

soloing there is much like soloing anywhere else. No matter where you do it, you cannot fall.

mynameismud · « **Reply #137 on:** July 30, 2012, 10:05:10 PM »

Oh, I disagree with the lot's of bolts statement. I understand but disagree.

it's not a habit for me, but after leading that particular climb 5 times - on various occasions - it just seemed like part of a natural progression. it felt good to be free of the rope and gear and just moving on the rock.

i've climbed some other easy routes on lead that may as well have been solos - the first pitch of 1st Sister's Center Route, the Anvil 5.3R no pro, The Easy Route on Osiris 5.4R no pro and some fun 4th class like Tiburcio's X backside and Kermit. i've led some one or two bolters and old routes with Leepers that i treated as solos.

i don't want anyone to think i am reckless or taking unnecessary risk.
for me this climb was smooth, calculated and relaxed.

You're not going to fall on a route like that. But the possibility of rock breaking is very real. Ask Belizzi about soloing 5.8 at Pinns, broken rock, and a broken ankle.

Still, we all "solo" to some extent, at least on the more run-out routes.
