Description
The climbing route faces the trail, and, starts after a short scramble to a small rock saddle (old star-dryvin' belay bolt at saddle).
Scramble up easy ridge to steeper rock at a broken horizontal seam. Clip bolt above the break, send that rig to the summit.
Great position, a free standing pinnacle and some might find inspiration for something after staring longingly at the formation (a cold shower?).
Classic Pinnacles summit. Well worth the scenic hike.
Historical note: the 1966 Roper guide rated this route 5.3.
