Description

This describes the climbs on the West Face of Toog's Formation.  Toog's Trailside is really enjoyable while Toog's Terror is a real Pinnacles adventure.

Getting There

Continue up the Balconies Trail for about 1/2 mile until you are below the Balconies near their north end.   The formation is about 20 feet off the trail.  You should be able to spot the bolts of Toog's Trailside.
