The Cathedral Spires area, including Block Tower, Cynical Pinnacle, Snake Buttress, the Dome, Hall of Mirrors, Sunshine Wall, and Poe Buttress, are closed annually starting March 1 for raptor nesting. After careful monitoring of nest sites, Jefferson County Open Space opens certain areas of Cathedral Spires and maintain spot closures for active nests through July 31st. Check back periodically during times of closure for updates: jeffco.us/open-space/parks/…
Note, JeffCo Open Space has notified us that access to The Bishop and Poop Point (along with all the Cathedral Spires Area) currently goes across JeffCo OS land. Despite information in some guidebooks (published or soon-to-be-published), the entire Cathedral Spires area is subject raptor nesting closures. Please be aware of the hefty fines associated with failure to observe these regulations.

Description
This is a nice finger and hand crack that continues the tradition of stellar crack climbing on Cynical Pinnacle.
Location
From the top of the the last pitch of the Center Route, rap east off the backside of Cynical Pinnacle. The crack follows the line of the rappel making this an excellent top rope as well.
Back in the day, this was the standard descent off of Cynical Pinnacle. You rapped east into the cleft and worked your way down and south, tunneling through a few key bottlenecks to arrive back at the ground.
