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
This a nice, semi-secluded area with a bunch of beginner and moderate climbs which are reasonably well-protected by Pinnacles standards. It's great for small groups who want to have climbers on two or three routes at the same time.
Getting There
From the Bear Gulch parking on the east side take the Bear Gulch Trail to the High Peaks Trail. About 1/4 mile after passing the Anvil you should spot a faint climber't trail which heads northeast toward an indistinct ridge. You can't really see the formation from the trail. If you see the Unmentionable to the south, you have gone too far. You shouldn't have to do much bushwhacking if you are on the correct trail which brings you to the formation after about 1/4 mile.
