Description
For the moderate climber this is one of THE routes to do at Pinnacles. Long, fun and airy at the top. It is possible to TR the first part of the route off of some midway anchors, but is not really recommended because this route sees a lot of traffic.
The start of the route feels harder than 5.6. You can boulder out the opening moves or do a slightly spicy traverse over from the side if you wish to avoid it.
