Description

In early 1950 Bill Long placed a few bolts on what is now the classic Regular Route intending to come back and finish the climb later. Dave Hammack and Dick Michael wandered by and assuming the route was finished bagged the first ascent. Hence the name. The Regular Route is a time-honored Pinnacles classic and should not be missed.

Getting There

There are four formations on the bench in between two cut stone staircases and metal guard railings on the High Peaks Trail. From north to south they are Condor Crags, North Finger, South Finger and Long's Folly.
