Five Tree

5.3, Trad, 60 ft (18 m),  Avg: 1.7 from 3 votes
FA: Charles Cole 1987
California > Tahquitz & Suic… > Suicide Rock > (f) Limp Dick

Description

Climb the tree that Pinhead starts from as high as you possibly can, and then transition onto the rock when possible. Belay/rap from bolts atop Pinhead.

An unusual climb that in theory may get easier as the tree grows taller! Take some slings to tie off branches for protection if so inclined.

Location

Located on the southwest corner of the Limp Dick formation, just to the right of Pinhead.

Protection

Sturdy pine tree, slings for tying off branches, bolted anchor/rap

[Hide Comment] The tree is still there and thriving! Super fun, easy climb if you're looking to relive your days as a kid. The move off off the tree to the rock is the scariest part. Tree sways pretty good on a windy day making it feel like even more of an adventure. May 24, 2022
