Hi folks,
DMT,
yeah, the "class three" is pretty wild. On Middle Palisade the only "class three" move we could find right below the top was about 5.5. Good times.
Can't Say,
I guess your point is made by the feeling I have that I won't go back just to do the harder variation.
Lucky Pink,
Give us a trip report when you get back from up there.
Went to Pinnacles on Monday. Almost nobody there. Nice. Led Stupendus Man, which was a long term goal. see ya,
Zander

426,
We didn't find Chris Browns duffel. I could see how a duffel might stay up there a while. Who would want to carry it down?. It's intereting how many "developed" bivies there are on the descent. I used to think that all the nice bivy spots I've seen way up on Sierra peaks were from people running late. Now I'm starting to think that maybe there are folks who intentionaly spend the night ontop. The bivies sites are just too nice.
Anybody here been seeking out high summit bivies?

Great TR!
I have surfed plenty of waves, sailed around the state multiple times, done over 1000 dives, hiked every trail on Oahu, and golfed every course in the state (well almost). I have been here in Hawaii for 16 years and am finally getting tired of it. The mountains are calling.
I have been bugging my wife for the past few weeks to move, she gives me a half OK, so I find her a couple jobs on monster, one in Colorado, one near Santa Cruz. She has a career, I make due. Finally last nite she told me to knock it off and for me get a job there, she’ll make due.
See what you started.
Aloha,
wil

Thx zander. It was a weird cache, looked temporary but I didn't see hide/hair of anyone while I was up there.

Inspiring TR-thank you.
From my visits to the Sierra, I find this the most compelling area. The photos take me there, nice!
I'm waving to you from Mt Silly.
Best,
J.
