Description

The route has some loose and crumbly rock but never feels difficult. A neat pinnacle to climb as a warmup or cool down at the end of the day.

Location

You can see this pinnacle from the parking lot. It sits right above the routes on the Upper Wall or about 5 minutes from the routes on the Main Wall. Downclimb the formation or do a tandem rappel with a single rope.

Protection

Small cams, no anchors on summit.

[Hide Comment] The simul-rappel was fun. You can get a few pieces in a crack at the top to help calm the nerves before the descent. Jan 21, 2019
