Description
The route is on the south face of The Pinnacle, about 150' left of the Howe/Garrents "Pinnacle South Face Route". The route climbs the very obvious open book corner to the Rooster shaped block that can been seen from as far away as I70. The route is a classic high adventure sandstone climb with some quite awkward aid and free moves.The route climbs up a monster groove which is a tad dangerous as if any rock is dislodged it is most likely end up in your seconds lap or worse.
P1) Just out from the corner follow the thin left-angling crack past a small roof with a bolt, and then up right via ledges and short cracks to anchors. 120' C2 5.8.
P2) The cracks improve for awhile then close up(2 #1 angles). 80' C2 A1 5.8.
P3) Continue up the corner passing 4 bolts at a blank section to a hanging belay. 100' C2 5.8.
P4) Go up the left trending corner with aid and free moves(2 bolts) to an obvious fork lightning 3" crack. Pull out left and climb about 40' to the summit rim. The rap/anchors are situated in a very large block just below the rim . The last 30' or so of climbing to the anchors is quite loose 100' C2 5.7R.
