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 is the rightmost route on Chockstone Dome, and cannot be seen from the starting area for the other two routes on the Chockstone Dome. This can also be used as an excellent way to set up a top rope for the other two routes on the Chockstone Dome, as it is fairly secure, and all routes share the same top anchors.
To start this route, climb up the 6' high boulder that's just right of the start of the more direct routes. Walk on top of this rock around to the right, until you can see the ramp that's known as the regular route.
This beginner route is 5.3 for the first 10 feet, and then quickly becomes 5.0 (if that) for the remainder of the climb up to the top anchors.
