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 was the second route put up on Goat Rock and is an enjoyable romp.
Climb up and right into a deep chimney and past five bolts to a low angle section with two belay bolts. The second pitch climbs straight up past a bolt to the top of the formation. Belay from a tree.
The second pitch can be wet so be prepared for a bit of interesting climbing in the rainy season or follow Forgettable Ewe to the top.
If you need to return to the base of the climb walk to the top of the formation and repeat the approach.
