Access: MORE INFO >>> For the moment, access to this area by climbers should be from a temporary trailhead/parking area that is located near the old Morrell's Wall Parking Lot area. From there, the new Tom's Thumb Trail leads up toward Morrells Wall, Gardeners Wall and on to Tom's Thumb. Please look for, and use designated climber access trails. This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund, and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

Perhaps half way up to Morrel's Wall from the old parking there is a free standing pinnacle. Route is on the downhill (north) side of the formation. Tricky slab moves bring you to a steeper headwall to the topout. I remember being able to go either right or left to finish, both seemed about the same in difficulty.

Location 

Half way or so from parking to Morrel's Wall. I have tried to follow the new parking regs, but it looks like the Morrel's parking lot is similar to before?

Protection 

As January 2005, there were old buttonhead bolts and just one buttonhead on top. You can drape the rope and rap off the back too if you don't want to lower or rap off the single bolt on top. Have the old bolts been replaced?
