jport Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 Wondering which routes at Pinnacles Nat. Monument are must-do... any recommendations? Quote
Chriznitch Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 for an easy, longer climb I recommend 'old original'. It traverses the top of machete ridge (visible from east entrance) . Basically a sidewalk in the sky with a couple mid 5th class moves and a few rappels. Quote
Rad Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 You didn't mention what grade or what time of year (raptor closures affect many cliffs in spring/early summer). I love that park! Beautiful in springtime. A few fun climbs spring to mind: N twin something (slab near reservoir) 5.6 Lost Horizon 5.8 Ordeal 5.8 Wet Kiss 5.9 Coyote Ugly 5.9 Lava Falls 5.9 Truama 5.9 Jorgie's crack 10a Shake and Bake 10a The Hatchet 10a Dance on a Hot Volcano 10b Ali Baba 10b Post orgasmic depression 10d Buffalo Soldier 10d Pistol Whipped 10d Sunwheel 11a The Verdict 11a/b Have fun! You'll encounter some loose rock on less traveled routes. Don't let it deter you as it can help you to climb more delicately and efficiently. Quote
