The Pinnacle 

From the top, don't walk off to the east!! Although there appears to be a trail heading that way, it is incredible lose and really sucks!! It's steep lose gravel covered in pine needles. Yuck!

The major hold got ripped off the 5.12 next to balance today. It was wet behind the hold when we examined it, so the recent rain may have contributed. It was probably going to come off soon anyways though.

I think it's much, much, much harder now.

Shit, Phil, that's been my proj for the past three years now....thanks a lot. Now, I'll never send.

Sorry, bud :( I bet it's closer to a 13 now, though. Think about how proud that would be!

So, does anybody know what the climbs, opposing the east face of The Pinnacle inside the canyon where the downclimb for The Pinnacle comes out, are called? There are at least three different bolted routes there I cannot find for the life of me. So, after the downclimb, you turn left to head towards the sun slabs, the climbs are on the face to the right heading downhill to the sun slabs.

Just did a really cool route starting up "The Man Arete" then traverse into direct variations of army route. It felt pretty classic. Just join the Army Route for a second at the first set of those overly huge anchors and then move more slightly more right into line above the Army Route (but it's sort of in the same corner, 5.6). Then aim straight for the top on pitch 3 (5.7 'cause you hit a good amount more face) and finish same as Army. It's not hard but feels like you climb more than Army.
