Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description For the moderate climber this is one of THE routes to do at Pinnacles. Long, fun and airy at the top. It is possible to TR the first part of the route off of some midway anchors, but is not really recommended because this route sees a lot of traffic.
Protection This classic has some run spots on easier ground. The first moves can be protected with .75 camalot or so sized piece and some small cam placements in a horizontal above that.

| If you take the caves trail and head through the first cave, as the path leads up towards Discovery Wall and either heads to a fork where you can either go back to the right parallel with the rock, or runs into it, Portent is the route in the first small dip that follows this dip up and left to a pair of rusty anchors that can be seen about 70 feet off the ground. |

| I didn't think that this route deserves more than 1*. I actually thought it was kind of a pile! |

| Most of this route is quite easy, although the start is the crux and is harder than 5.6. I like the traverse, very airy and fun. |

| I think it is 5.6, the start is not protected, but that doesnt make it harder. The pinnacles rock is weak though. |
