Trundle Pinnacle

Description 

Climbers on Mount Lemmon are no stranger to pinnacles and towers. This 200ft freestanding pin, only a few yards from the base of the Butterfly Wall, is markedly different in character to its lower elevation brethren.

Follow directions to the Butterfly Wall. This is the obvious 200' spire.
