Pinnacles National Monument
Hiking - Old Pinnacles/High Peaks Trails, North Chalone Peak

I hooked up with Jaime's group again for a couple of days of hiking at Pinnacles National Monument.

Driving, camp set-up, horse shoes and eating on Friday. Saturday a group of us hiked (from the campground) the Old Pinnacles Trail/Balconies Cave Trail/Balconies Trail to the Chaparral Ranger Station at the West entrance. We then went up Juniper Canyon to the High Peaks and back down to the shuttle at Bear Gulch.

About 16 miles and 7 hours.

Sunday Eric and I did a quick run up North Chalone Peak because we both had a long drive home ahead of us.

About 9 miles in 3 hours.

Little Hawaii - Top-roping

I drove up to the Manton, CA area to do some top-roping with Ricky's Epic Masters group. Little Hawaii is a small unknown climbing area being developed by Ricky and a few others.

The climbing was ok for what and where it is. I'm not sure what type of rock it is, but not granite. The rock has nubbins and quite a few pockets for holds. Not a lot of features to place trad gear and the routes haven't been bolted yet so this is all top-roping.

All the formations are pretty much in the shade, but temperature in this area is too hot to climb during the summer.

I think there were a total of 13 people and it seemed everyone had a great time. We stopped at the Manton Saloon for a few beers afterwards, our antics entertaining the locals.

Time: Count as 03:00:00
