Seems I'm always in the Valley sweating my nutsack off on July 4th... so whaddya say we set up a giant TR on the Burner? Interested? I can get fixed ropes up on the thing if you guys will show up. Let me hear about it... and yeah.... It'll be hot. They don't call it the "Burner" for nuthin'! Maybe do the Stovelegs too, since I recall there might be a couple of moves of 4" on the things... and that *is* where the Glory starts after all. Perhaps Dolt Tower for warm Olde English and a sandwich? Are we men or are we men?

I am obligated to be Bay Area local this July, and the 4th is a (paid) holiday, and I've always had a broner for the burner, so for good or ill, I'm in!

Kick assssssssss™ at least now I don't need to solo up to the pile. That's two of us..... might have to limit the circus to like 50. Just how many would be Burner hopefuls can you fit in the Dolt Hole? |

just to the left of the Stovelegs, starting out of the Dolt Hole.... Convenience edit: Jingy just posted some shots on the Taco. This one I believe is looking right in on the Burner.  |

So this Burner is like 35 years old, as a climb.
How many times do you think it's been climbed?

I led it in 1977 (or maybe 1976). Rick Piggott and I did it on our ascent of the New Dawn. I remember it being a good one.

That is why you are "the Man!" 30 years later and we are still playing catch-up. |

I'm just a man who got shut down on Big Pink in Vedauwoo this weekend. Jeez, maybe I gotta be more than a one-trick (arm bar) pony. How'd you do that, Jaybro? - not using fist stacks like that picture of Scarpelli, I hope.

armbars, babe, I hadn't a clue about fist stacks back then. Didn't get it first, or second time, either.

Good to know, Jaybro, I actually felt like I could do it with armbars - but I would need to be eating a vitamin-fortified breakfast cereal the morning of the attempt. It actually felt kind of like Greg's Crack at Woodson.
By the way - back to the Burner. As I recall, it was only rated .10c. Is that still the rating?

Thanks, Ed. I can well believe it IS 5.11, but I do recall the .10c rating at the time I did it (but I'm not the best rememberer). To tell you the truth, it was Piggott who made the suggestion to do it. I didn't know much about it before I tried it. It is rarely mentioned. I hope you guys do it. Helluva location.

If you guys do something pedestrian like get frozen foo-foo drinks on the Curry pizza deck, let me know. I'd even come by for encouragement and perhaps a little back skin if you put top ropes up on Uncle Fanny or somesuch. :-)

I can't speak for everyone, but I suspect that that sort of behavior is in the 'offing' as well,

Not that I have been diligent in my wide studies at all (choosing hang dogging the 10 a knobs, rather than offwidth GLORY! with jay and scuff.) but if you all learn that Tuolumne is cooler than Yos and climb Death Crack, we'll swing by and say hi on Sunday.
East Side to meet up with friends...
Probably going to end up soaking my nutz in the hotsprings more than climb, but Tmeadows is where you should hang, eh?
