Wondering if anyone has beta on the Regular Route (5.6) on Cardinal Pinnacle. Does it have belay/rap anchors? If so, has anyone been up there recently and know if they are in good shape? How's the climbing? Thanks!

climbed it a week or so ago. great route. every pitch is different and fun.

For rappelling: the best thing to do is to finish the route, and then to rappel over the 12b finger crack route (sorry forget the name). This is the established rappel route for most of the routes on cardinal pinnacle. Ends up being 4 raps with a 70M rope.

I do not think you can (easily) rappel the regular route itself.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
