Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures
Details
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
Bad Man Mezzanine and the terraces above and to the south have a number of popular one and two pitch routes. There are two different ways to descend Bad Man Mezzanine which is the terrace in the middle of the wall with a large pine tree growing at it's top. On the north side, at the base of a class 4 chimney, find a two-bolt anchor with chains which is the first of two single rope rappels. Be careful doing the second rappel. It is overhanging and ends in an area with lots of the dreaded poison oak. Be careful pulling your rope as well.
On the south side of Bad Man Mezzanine scramble about 100 feet south to the two-bolts and chains for the anchor on top of the route Bandits in Bondage. A double rope rappel gets one to the ground.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: since 2018 a pair of condors has been trying to nest on the south end of Machete Ridge. When this happens all routes including Pigeon Crack and extending west and south and around to The Hideout on the south face which includes Old Original are closed. More information is located here:
