The Unmentionable

The climbing route faces the trail, and, starts after a short scramble to a small rock saddle (old star-dryvin' belay bolt at saddle).

Scramble up easy ridge to steeper rock at a broken horizontal seam. Clip bolt above the break, send that rig to the summit.

Great position, a free standing pinnacle and some might find inspiration for something after staring longingly at the formation (a cold shower?).

Classic Pinnacles summit. Well worth the scenic hike.

Historical note: the 1966 Roper guide rated this route 5.3.

From the High Peaks Trail starting on the East Side, goes past the Anvil about 200 meters and look to the left: it looks like, uhh: Unmentionable!

Rappel from the summit.

One bolt protects the short crux and route. Two bolt anchor on summit for the rappel back to the ground.
