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
Start below the obvious seam and climb straight up. Alternatively, start up Nailbox Crack for about 10 feet and traverse right to the base of the obvious seam. The seam goes for about 30 ft and is A3, though it has gone hammerless in the past. Eventually get in some bomber cams ~#2-4. From there it is about C1 as the crack trends right and up. About 100 ft up the crack widens and accepts a #5 and/or #6. From here you can free climb up a ramp left and then traverse back right to a tree. If you go up the gulley to the right of the tree it is about 4th/ low 5th to another smaller tree and single modern bolt on the left.
