Cool little slab, wall, ledges and edges, side pulls, and finger crack.  Start out on long reaches to small in-cuts and insecure feet(moss and lichens)up to a strange glued-in square block, then up edges and ledges to the upper finger crack with slopey ledges for feet!  Super Fun.

Pit Start

Start up the wide crack, the split between two towers.  After you pass the off-width move, move right into the beautiful dihedral and follow it to the top.

Strenuous moves and bad feet at the crux, but somehow very satisfying at the same time.  Book describes starting low and left and climbing up and right on the face, mirroring the slab that rises below you.   

  We also TR'ed the arete going straight up the left side, maybe 5.8 and really fun that way as well.  Not much pro that way.

Climb right slanting crack with many side pulls and ledges off to either side. After getting to final ledge edge on right climb straight up the remaining short steep face over the top.

Big (but sloping) ledges near the right edge of the face. 

  Pretty fun!

Better than it's neighbor Cut Rate this climb takes some nice balance and footwork. Get to the jug near the arete and then use the arete for a few moves until you can cut left again aiming for the wide flat jug to finish in the middle of the wall.

Start in the dihedral below the roof, as shown in Nick's photo.  According to Swartling and Mayer, exit the roof to the right ... but there is no gear out that way.  Alternatively, step left onto the big shelf (easy, great gear) or follow the crack slightly left (not the greatest gear). 

  Cross easy ledges to the upper dihedral. 

  The upper dihedral is the crux, especially the last two moves. 

  The crux sews up with a couple of nuts and a 1/4" cam.

Pretty "blah" of a route. Take a lap for fitness' sake.

Ramsay's Ramp is the longest route on the pinnacle. It starts with a little boulder problem and a hidden hold. You can also skip the boulder problem and traverse in from the left. Finish on the left side of the chock-stone on top of the pinnacle.

Positive edges up the lower face, delicate and powerful move to grab the big ledge, then ... don't mantle, but use Burt's beta (look left). 

  Lot's o' fun!

Lots of smallish edges out on the face.  Decent gear but you may have to think a little about it. 

  Reminds me of "The Ramp" in Hawk's Nest, only without the sandbag start, and more sustained.

Climb the obvious arete finishing on the right side. Reachy at the crux unfortunately.

Start in the center of the face, and contrive a way to stay centered. 

  Swartling & Mayer suggest there is a 5.7 here ... maybe if you start on the left-hand side?

Climb the arête and crack up to 1/2 way point, then tackle the "in your face" hanging arête at the top.   There is an easier finish at the top that goes left.

Unnamed 5.4 in the book this is a good link up with Bloody Shin below.

Start at the base of the wall.  Bouldery moves take you up and right to the obvious finger slot.  Then onto the big ledge, your one good rest.  Finish up the central crack to the top of the tower.

Small area with a smattering of moderate climbs, mainly "Ramsay's Pinnacle."
