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
Locate two bolts below the roof and climb straight up through them to join the route The Roof. Traverse right under the roof to the anchors. The climbing can continue from the chains to the top via Roof, but I've never tried.
Cleaning this route on rappel is a pain. I would recommend someone second the climb and clean on the way up.
Location
The first route inside the "climber access" area on the right side of the Discovery Wall. Start underneath the roof.
Protection
Two bolts to chain anchors. You should bring some finger sized gear to protect the traverse under the roof to the chains from the second bolt since it's fairly run out. If a fall occurred at the anchors with no additional protection, the swing would be nasty and probably put the leader close to the deck.
