BETA PHOTO: Nightworm Pinnacle. The handcrack is obvious.


Description 

This is a nice little pinnacle with three routes including a perfect, easy, handcrack. The rock faces south and does get alot of sun. It is typical Clear Creek Canyon Gniess. You probably won't see a lot of people here, but the climbing is worth a visit.


Getting There 

Park on the south side of the road directly across from the rock. I clocked this at 7.6 miles up the canyon. Darren Mabe calls it 8.0 miles in his excellent guide. Walk up the hill to the rock. This takes about 2 minutes.
