Access Issue: Petroglyphs and Private Land
Details
Torrey Valley is known for ancient petroglyphs found on sandstone blocks, usually facing one of the lakes. It goes without saying, don't climb on or directly next to the petroglyphs, and don't harm them in any way.
The approach road (County Road 411/Trail Lake Road) runs through private land on an easement from the Whiskey Basin wildlife reserve to the public campground at the head of Ring Lake. It is illegal to leave the road without permission from the landowners in this area except for the boat ramp at Torrey Lake provided on a goodwill basis. The east side of the valley has a lot of private land, too. There is not much worth climbing in the private part anyway.

Description
This is the best moderate route at the pinnacle. It climbs the obvious and aesthetic arete that divides the mini-face of Technicality from the face with the Pleasant Surprise crack. It starts with a technical move on small edges below the bolt (soft for 5.9). After getting established on the arete proper, a few committing moves separated by good rests lead to the anchor ledge. The last moves are the hardest, but they can be bypassed with a 5.7 variation of lower quality to the left of the arete.
