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
Do not traverse left across the steep, unprotected 5.10a face to the base of the crack (if you do you're climbing Mousetrap). Instead, climb the first 15' of Regular Route, traverse left across a horizontal crack to the vertical crack, and climb the vertical crack or the face right of the crack between two bushes and to the right of another bush to the top.
The crack is commonly climbed directly from the bottom without the traverse. Protection at the start might be difficult.
