Pine Valley Peak, 5.5

Continue up easy ground protecting via another bush (I trust the bushes more than the rock here) and gain the left side of a chimney. Again, nothing but compacted sand, so be light footed as you ascend the left side of this chimney and then traverse back left across a slab and move up right past a large tree with a new rap sling (we placed in 2007). I knocked a decent part of this chimney off without full body weight. Take care on this short section. Continue up to even a larger tree to bring up the 2nd on belay.

Lotsa Fun!

This looks like a great free solo route!

Re: Lotsa Fun!

...have to give Courtney credit for the suggestion, nobody goes up it, pretty obscure objective even though it is close to the road but it was fun. The weird thing looking back at these photos was the weather...Stacy and I are constantly scoping out the shady routes as it nears 100F every single day (headed to Crawdad today for the first time!) but climb a little elevation on the right day and the weather is vastly different. Cheers.
