The Pinnacles

(2 routes)

Only a couple of routes here so far, but potential for some more and some bouldering. The
pinnacle split by a prominent crack has two crack climbs.

Climb the slightly overhanging hand crack. The top lip is a little friable, like Turtle Power used to be before they all broke off. Named after Bryces fat cat (the one that pissed in his gumboots that morning – anyone want a cat?). All natural gear and DBC belay.

Climb the crack on the LH side of the pinnacle. Starts tight at the bottom and goes to wide fists at the top. Named after Bryces other cat. All natural gear and DBC belay.
