Time to give this girl a whirl.
I need a partner(s) or willing belayer.
Will follow or belay you on anything else you want to climb and/or swing leads while we're there, so if the wide's not your thing maybe we can still work something out...like do Sundance or Valhalla or something to get to the base.
You don't have to be able to, or even try to, follow Paisano, I can clean on aid or rap if necessary.
Any takers?

OK, now that you've gone public with your plans, a full photo-TR is required.

"Are you sure you what to give it a go ?"
Pretty sure Bruce. Seven tries you say? That's barely even a project. Congrats on your ascent, got any pics or stories for us?
Thanks Greg, going to need it in spades.
Yes, a having a photog along would be nice, but then you might end up with a super-poser, tuning the cello shot ala the infamous Falkenstein Owl Roof shot or this one

Thirty six years ago. Couldn't fall because the steel bong banged in at the lip was A3 (the entire Pinnacle is super expanding). Remember to go feet first at the beginning and then flip your feet around after it no long goes down hill. Those are some hard fought moves, especially at the lip. I'm working an arm bar here in the pic - barely. Suerte.

Largo, if I were nailing that and the whole formation was expanding I'd probably load my drawers.
Looks like you were more or less straight-on mostly fist jamming out to the lip, Yaniro and Leavitt were leading with their right side on bat hang & stacks, Jaybro was leading with left side. So it sounds like there are options.
Russ has a pretty good Paisano story. Hard to believe no pics came out of that event.
