and

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
From the anchors described below head left and up the streak. There are two bulges, halfway up (crux) and near the top. Fun climbing with stemming throughout the route including the cruxes and some easy runouts.
My partner and I felt this was still runout, despite being listed as just 5.10a on mudncrud new routes forum:
http://www.mudncrud.com/forums/index.php?topic=3025.0
To descend traverse left to the Sheep Sheer anchor.
Location
Located at the bottom of the Goat Rock/Satyr Pinnacle corridor. About 40 feet down and right from the Sheep Shear starting Anchor.
The best way to access the start of this route is to head downhill before reaching Satyr Pinnacle. When about 50 feet NE of Satr Pinnacle wind down the hillside slowly working closer to the North end of the East face of Goat Rock. Once at the base of the East face in a gulley locate a obvious dark streak, Embraceable You.
Ignore it and instead go left up 70ish feet of class 3/4 to two pine trees where the belay anchors are. There are two steaks, one on either side of the belay anchor.
