The route is sometimes closed due to bird nesting but right now all of Machete is open. It is not advised to climb this route on the weekends (or other busy days) due to the route being right over the main trail into the caves. The term “decent rock quality” at the Pinnacles means only every fifth hold will break off, not every other. Very loose climbing in general. Also, I think it's going to rain this weekend.
I’m always looking for partners and climb at the Pinnacles often. Send me a PM if you’d like to climb
Hmmm didn't realize the rockfall and position over the caves was that problematic. Bummer, since weekends are generally my only options for Pinns trips.
Glad to hear the route isn't closed, though! Something about this line just seems compelling. Might have to play hooky and get on this route some other day when the weather is a more ideal.
