Hitchcock Pinnacle

Saturday Mike, Joe, and I went up to Windy Point to do some trad climbing. We ended up clipping bolts most of the day. Joe led Space Cowboys, and we all led Deranged of Late. It was a good time and a very chill day. Before we left Mike told me I needed to climb Hitchcock Pinnacle. It is in the parking area of Windy Point, and I had never done it. If you climb it you will attract attention. I guess that is why Ryan and I had never climbed it together. (Ryan is very humble and modest). That's me on top of the Pinnacle.........finally.
I did a little clothes shopping too. I got this like new TNF fleece anorak. Like all good climbers I spend all my money on gear and climbing trips, and then dress like a hobo. Fortunately if you are attentive you can find clothes laying around at the crag. This fleece was folded neatly at the base of the wall with no one else anywhere around, and had a bunch of grass and brush blown over the top of it. I picked off the grass and washed it. Good as new. I think it was new because it had a sticker stuck to one of the tags that looks like it would have come off in the wash. I love booty. Especially when it is my size, and a color I will wear.

You look great on the pinnacle. Did you do a make a lot of loud noices no top to attract attention to your feat?

Kent, yes I did. I ripped off my shirt, and did some push ups.

Ryan, you are correct "was" yours.
