Extremely consistent wind today, which wasn't expected. Regardless, we still had a bunch of fun climbing at this busy park. I reclimbed my first route I ever completed, Hiliter, almost forty years later. Most of the climbs here aren't quite as spicy as they used to be because of the updated and added bolts. However, there are still numerous challenging routes, many of them sandbagged.

••• South Crack Red Point 5.5TradG2 Pitches
Single rack to a #3.
We took the five fun route up Pinnacle on Halloween to watch the moon rise. The clouds obscured most of the moon and its rise, but a forgotten camera enabled us to view the moon in all of its glory around 11:00 p.m.

We got a warning on the car for being in the park past 5:45. Yes Pinnacle Peak closes at 5:45, has to be the most arbitrary closure time of any public park in the valley. We actually parked outside the park legally on a street adjacent to state trust land, so not sure how even the warning was valid, but oh well. Worth it.

The South Crack route is ok, only a few real climbing moves in there, but we enjoyed none the less. It does not hold a candle to Hanging Gardens for a comparison of easy classics in the valley.

A half day at work and a quick run up this Pinnacle Peak classic. Too bad the park closes at seven, it would be a great place to watch the sunset.

Some interesting & tight moves with great views & exposure with a great rappel back down.
I had a halfday at work and ran up north to climb this classic climb with my buddy on this thankfully not too windy yet slightly cool sunny afternoon. Great views as always! I'm not a huge fan of this type of rock, but this route is easy & juggy enough so I felt plenty secure on it. :D

A climbing friend, his girlfriend, and I summited the peak via the sandbagged South Crack on another beautiful, sunny AZ winter day. :)
