    You have not hiked in the L-ville Gorge until you have hiked up Pinch-In. Everyone should experience the pain at least once. I took my brother back in October because he wanted a good challenge. He told me even though I talked it up and fully prepared him for it that until he was faced with Pinch-In he didn't really get it.

    I shot video. I love it when he's way down the hill using broken sticks to pull himself up the ridge. Classic image of Pinch-In!

    Nice video Zod. Thanks. I enjoy Pinchin. Taking plenty of time and stopping to enjoy the views is the secret. The Pinchin Ridge sure looks tame at about 1:07 in your video. Those who have been there know otherwise!!

    Thanks. Yep from a distance Pinch-In looks so deceivingly mild compared to its surroundings.

    Thanks. I posted this video a while back to but the thread ended up down the list pretty quickly. Here's a repost in case you missed it.

    No Pinch-In on this one. Went Conley Cove, Linville, Babel on a over-night trip.
