Split Pinnacle

A good introduction to

Indian Creek

,

Split Pinnacle

tackles a tight hands to fist crack up the center of a short leaning tower. Disappointing in length, its still a nice and quick stop if you're looking to get a feel for hand cracks.

Easily accessible from the road, This is a fun route to do if you're short on time, just arriving, or looking for a mellow warm-up or warm-down.

Start by diving right in on the thinnest part of the crack. Squirm your way up the generous start until you can start burying those hands with solid jams. Keep climbing til the hands turn to fists, give a grunt and pop out on top at a chain anchor.

Located about 0.6 miles past

and on the right just after the

Friction Slabs

is

Split Pinnacle

. Parking can be found just prior too and on the left by the campground. Walk down the road until the crack becomes visible. Its the only obvious splitter set about 15 off the road.

Cams from 3/4" to 4" (.75-#3 bd or equivalent). Chain anchor.
