Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures Details

Always check this web page before you visit for current conditions and nesting closures:

Current Raptor Advisories for Pinnacles National Park nps.gov/pinn/planyourvisit/…
and
pinnacles.org/climbing_info…
Closures effective as of the day after Martin Luther King Day- July 3. Check closure website for details on closed areas.

SPECIAL NOTICE: Condors have been establishing nests at the Pinnacles National Monument. Since condors develop to fledgling more slowly than raptors and vultures closures due to condor nesting is extended past the usual Martin Luther King Day to July 3rd. Again, please check the "Current Raptor Advisory" section of the NPS website and/or the Friends of Pinnacles website for current closures.

As of July 2024 there are three active Condor nests at Pinnacles National Park.

The Machete Ridge area is closed from Pigeon Crack on west face then west around the south side to The Hideout including the popular Old Original.

All climbing routes at Crowley Towers are closed.

All routes on the Yaks and Yaks Wall plus Marauder.

Description

South east facing wall sits just above the trail of the same name between Discovery Wall and the Monolith. The left side of the wall has long routes that are bulgy at the bottom and topped with long faces above. To the right of the overhang and the point are some steep climbs that follow slashing zig-zag cracks. The rock quality is a bit suspect here, but you should not have to deal with crowds, just the curious hikers that will walk right passed the base of the route while you are climbing.

Getting There

A few minutes after passing Discovery Wall on the Moses Springs trail you will round a point and end up walking along under a low crumbling white overhang. The routes are at either end of this overhang.
