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.
Most of the route is very slabby, but there are a few intimidating moves. Coming over the top of first ledge can be intimidating, but it's protectable with a black tricam (presumably a cam would work as well). From there, watch your head while zigging right before the route goes left.
Descend the backside by either downclimbing or a 50' rappel from bolts and rings.

Tons of cracks - many horizontal - just waiting to gobble up your gear. I used a ton of small and medium tricams - didn't see much need for BD cams #2 and up. Bolted anchor at end.
