The Wizard Rock Climbing

There are very few established trails in this area so finding this formation will undoubtedly be difficult without a map. If you have Brad Young's excellent 2007 guidebook, the Wizard is located about 200 feet south of the route Sorcerer of Slab. The easiest way to get there is to hike up the Chalone Peak Trail from the reservoir for about 1/2 mile until the trail makes a very sharp turn to the right at an obvious saddle. Follow the climber's trail up the ridge to the north heading in the direction of the Yaks. Near the top of the ridge head up and left into some small rock fdrmations and find a narrow chimney/chute. The Wizard is the formation making up the south side of the chimney/chute.

If you find this formation from this description you are a true Pinnacles adventurer!
