THE PINNACLEThe Pinnacle has a very nice trad route for beginners (The Standard Route) and offers the best slab at Sandrock (Comfortably Numb). The valley is very high and can not be top roped with a 150 foot rope without belaying from a flat rock that nature placed perfectly. Getting to the top to set top ropes is not easy, it's either solo or trad lead "The Standard Route". From the parking area, walk toward the valley to the Fireplace, turn right and follow the trail into the flat open area, walk straight ahead and of the two large blocks on the south side of the opening, the Pinnacle is the one on the left or closest to the valley.
