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
This route was established as a way to get out of the corridor after climbing on North and South Yak. It follows a pretty prominent right facing dihedral with a large crack in the back. Use chimney and off width techniques to climb up 15 feet to the first bolt. At the top of the dihedral clip a second bolt. Surmount the roof and belay at a tree above.
Be careful walking on the pine needles above the climb. They can be slippery in rock shoes.
Location
From the bottom of the rappel into the corridor head south about 100' passing Clint's Escape to a prominent right facing dihedral on the west side. Two bolts should be visible from below the route.
