Description

The Main Pinnacle Ridge is located above the Skull formantion. From the meadow below to the south, hike up a climbers trail heading north and around the Skull's west side. Once on the backside of the Skull, continue north through faint trail networks the formations above (Pinnacles #1-6). Cross through a corridor (some scrambling required) and reach the north side of these pinnacles. Once there, the pinnacle are identifyed by looking at their north faces. Pinnacle #1 is the far left formation, then #2 is the next formation to the right, as are the remaining pinnacles.

Location

This route is located on the left end of the north face of Pinnacle #1. Head up past 5 bolts (the crux is getting past the third bolt, transitioning from the face to a dirty slab).

Protection

Quickdraws!
- 5 bolts
- 2 bolt anchor (no chains). However, there are a set of anchors 7 feet further for another route that has 2 bolts WITH chains. This is the best option to lower off without leaving gear.
