Pinnacle is a popular destination for climbers that are looking for a challenge. Heights reach about one-thousand-four-hundred feet in the air, but it is not the height that makes these lines difficult. For most, the unstable rock formations make for a tough climb. With little quality cracks for clean routes, climbers often have to tap in for safety during an ascent. As a result, with the weak integrity of the rock, bouldering is minimal except for those with a death-wish. All being said, the routes here are tough, but safe if precautions are taken. Also, once completed, rockers will feel an accomplishment like none other, which is why visitors often fall in love with this site.

America is comprised of many of the top destinations for ascending in the world. However, the next stop is located in Spain and compares to the top sites in the USA.
