Description
This is a loose and runout route which has, thankfully, been ignored then lost through the annals of time. It is not recommended as a climb but is included in the database as a geographical reference for the important condor nesting closure on Machete Ridge.
You have better things to do at the Pinnacles than climb this route. Believe me.
