Start at a steep crack below a large open book that leads to a big roof on the front of the Pinnacle. Make the tough first moves up the crack (crux 1) and get established on easier terrain in the open book. Wander up to the roof (old piton), clean the dookie off the right hand jug. Get a high 3-4 inch piece and muscle through the roof (crux 2). Wander up an left to the big belay tree.

Descent Options:

No slings on tree, consider downclimbig the back of the pinnacle.

3 out of 5 stars war

went up with confidence, over protectable roof, and couldn't do anything with it. tried again a bunch of times, no luck. came down, friend finished the lead, did a step up into the roof i couldn't even repeat on follow. mystifying.
