Pinnacle Backside

Type
Altitude
1m

Good climbing in the Jumping Jellyfish area is often unfairly ignored due to its dark aspect. The remainder of the backside has little to recommend it. Bob Cunninghame and others ventured onto the backside in the 60’s to climb some of the lines. Bob writes, ‘…they were fairly awful – sandy and loose rock. Seem to remember protection was dubious or non existent!’ The first seven climbs are serviced by a DBB at the apex of the pinnacle, up and left of the manky gully, which sounds suspiciously similar to Bob’s description – don’t climb this!

As of 15/02/2024 top of Jumping Jellyfish and others that share this top have been rockfall affected. Bent hangers on uppers of climbs and old cam placements now loose rock. Needs a cleanup
