Quite a long climb for this area, and worthwhile doing, especially late afternoon.

Gracefully climb the chimney in the corner, clipping the first bolt on the way and up to a big ledge, then traverse right on another smaller ledge and clip the second bolt. Pull up over the first bulge (crux 1) using a long reach on a good flake. The next bulge is the hardest move on the climb (crux 2), using a high step and another long reach. After this cruise good flakes to a ledge, clip the next high bolt from here and pull up over the final strenuous bulge (crux 3) to more good flakes and the anchor. It helps to be tall on this one.

Thin face climbing utilizing edges and crimps leads past several bolts to a small ledge/stance and the end of the difficulties. Above, moderate climbing up featured face, including several bulges, ends on a spacious ledge with great views of the surrounding area.

Good climbing down low, but the broken nature of the upper portion of the route detracts from the overall appeal.

Big positive holds lead up to a thin and fingery crux past the 3rd bolt and then it's fairly easy but still interesting in the middle portion of the route, up an exposed arete and over some highly featured bulges, to a second crux near the top as you power out an undercut bulge utilizing a flower-pot type hold.

A fun moderate that's enjoyable on it's own or as a warm-up for the more difficult routes on the wall.

Boulder up onto a small ledge, clip a bolt and then climb thin face up to a huge, hanging flake which is liebacked up the overhanging face. The crux comes above the flake, where a tricky sequence on smallish holds gains a jug and somewhat easier climbing. Stays interesting all the way to the anchors, especially if pumped.

For the grade as good as any route at the Pinnacles, with steep climbing on good holds and fun moves throughtout.

Interesting face climbing up a vertical face littered with positive holds that goes over several small roofs/overlaps to a finish up a flared corner system. It ends on a spacious ledge with anchors and great view of the surrounding area.

Perhaps the best route of it's grade at the Holcomb Valley Pinnacles.

Starts with a boulder problem and then joins up with

at about the 30 foot mark.
