Waldo I haven't met you so I can't comment, but there must be a shared look as I made the comment out of all seriousness.

It was a nice day yesterday, still moist in the shade. Jon and I had a great time on The Powers That Be and Electric Blue. Electric Blue is 3-Stars in my book. A lot of action on the Balconies yesterday. We saw Alan, Tanya, & Jim on Conduit. A conga line on Lava Falls on with our warmup on Pergrine, five routes were done, which is the most climbs I've ever seen done on The Balconies in one day.

The Balconies

I'm almost finished with my Stronghold Painting, but the sky hasn't come to me yet. The size is 18"x10" Heads up the image doesn't quite do it justice.

Proud of you, and of him. Keep it up.

Peregrine>Powers that Be>Electric Blue.

They increased in quality as we went. And as the book states the 2nd of Powers That Be was especially good despite the lichen in our eyes, shirts, and shoes.

Post em up F4

How many pitches did you do on Peregrine? I thought that 2nd pitch was kinda sketch to lead (loose and bad bolts). I never managed to get it clean, managed do get all the moves but could not link it.

Just did the first of Peregrine, at Joe's recommendation as a good warmup, because there is nothing else to warmup on. It did the trick and got me back in the Pinnacles headspace. Definitely a no-star pitch.

NO, say it aint so! Go Go said it was good, or good enough?

All kidding I was hoping to lead that one. Electric looks cool.

He said, " Good enough", but then he said something along the lines of, may have been one where I remembered wrong because I went back remembering it being good and then it was different then I remembered. Latter in the day as he told me about Cuidado he said,"rarely do I remember anything about routes, but stay left at the crux for better rock." Classic Joe. So Peregrine was just a warmup. I thought it was spicy to the second bolt.

edit:
Did I say Electric Blue is one of the best routes at Pinnacles! But don't lead it if Shake and Bake is wet, you might end up doing the 30 ft runout to the anchors on a water streak that was hidden from below.

proof of good times

Squiddo, on the first pitch, Mud had said it was pretty good.

Never trust what I say, if I'm warming up on it.... I'm always scared shitless on my pinnacles warmups, even if its on the monolith.

Yes, 1st Pitch of Pergrine is stellar. 4x***

The more traffic, the less shit will be on it.

I did my part.

Lol you and F4 both. Best scramble ever!

You need to learn grasshopper..spray about routes = traffic = cleans them up.

Piglet is Piglet, it addeds to the daily route count..

A busy day @ the Balconies...

Sorry Adam, no good ones of you guys.
