Description:
This has been described as the most enjoyable climb on the wall. Begin where an oak grows against the rock a few feet left of Trauma. It is mostly face climbing with bolts placed every 9-18 feet. Good exposure on this 160 foot climb. There are belay bolts half way up to do the climb in two pitches. VALYGRL's edits: The oak is gone, keeled over in El Nino of 1998.

Ascent note
Great begineer route, can be done in 1 pitch with some very long slings to reduce rope drag.

My first outdoor climb
I'd been training in the gym for about a year and half before I made my first journey outdoors to Pinnacles. Portent was a beautiful climb -- the start was a bit hefty, but the moves were solid and safe all throughout. The view from the top was astounding!
