and

Closures effective as of the day after Martin Luther King Day- July 3. Check closure website for details on closed areas.
SPECIAL NOTICE: Condors have been establishing nests at the Pinnacles National Monument. Since condors develop to fledgling more slowly than raptors and vultures closures due to condor nesting is extended past the usual Martin Luther King Day to July 3rd. Again, please check the "Current Raptor Advisory" section of the NPS website and/or the Friends of Pinnacles website for current closures.
As of July 2024 there are three active Condor nests at Pinnacles National Park.
The Machete Ridge area is closed from Pigeon Crack on west face then west around the south side to The Hideout including the popular Old Original.
All climbing routes at Crowley Towers are closed.
All routes on the Yaks and Yaks Wall plus Marauder.
Description
3rd class to a gully leads you to the base of the route: an easy maybe 5.4 chimney. Exit left to some face/crack climbing that tops out on an exposed ridge. Traverse left to another section of face/OW crack climbing. Top out to the left. The hardest move is transitioning into the final section of crack without pulling too hard on the every questionable Pinnacle's rock. Bolts and chains at the top for the 80' rappel back to the base.
