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
Fantastic beginner route. Great for kids. Climb up the obvious, shallow chute in the west face of Teaching Rock.
Location
Teaching rock is the "hump" of The Camel, just off the Rim trail. Easy walk on/walk off. Follow trail down west side to reach the start.
Protection
Walk to the top of Teaching Rock. There are three TR routes on the west face and three sets of anchor bolts. Use the farthest south(farthest left when on top of the rock) bolt anchor just below the top of the rock to set up top rope. Route is directly below on west face. Bring lots of webbing to extend anchor.
