| orandall | Route Climbed: high peaks trail - some 5.6 routes on the east side Date Climbed: many times  | |
| love this place - high peaks trail is great and so is the climbing on the east side - seconded some easy stuff though I forget the names of the routes and the wall we were on. also plenty of class exposed class 3/4 stuff in the high peaks area for practice, just watch the portable handholds and raptor closures. | |

| I never get tired of hiking at Pinnacles. Every trip I find something new. I've been here many times, but this is the first time I drove into the East Entrance. | |

| Sam Mills | Route Climbed: High Peaks Trail Date Climbed: July 2002 | |
| A fun weekend outting with my wife and children. As well as hiking the trails, we did some easy lead climbing at The Sisters and some more difficult routes top roped at the Toprope Wall and Tourist Trap. Lounging around the pool at the campground during the heat of the day was also quite fun. You won't have to worry about bears here, but you will share your campsite with the wild pigs during the night and the Magpies during the day. | |

| Free soloed about 20 feet of first pitch of Old Original Machete Ridge before bailing due to moss and water. Decided to circumnavigate the base of Machete Ridge and decscended the east gully down to Balcones Caves. Mostly 3rd class occasional 4th, and about 10 feet traverse of 5 easy across a moss covered slab. 1.5 hours. Finished off with Balconies caves and cliff trails. | |

| Reached the summit in record time. Great and beautifully warm day. Caves were very dry. Very dusty trails. Needed lots of water. | |

| Pinnacles was my winter stomping grounds when I live in San Jose. The very unique rock is a lot of fun to climb on. Decent trail running too. | |

| 2006- Climbing the Discovery Wall near Bear Gulch The rock is surprisingly solid depite its crumbly appearance. 2004- Condor Gulch to High Peaks to Bear Gulch Finally did the high peaks trail, very interesting exposed footsteps chiseled into solid rock. Bear Gulch caves closed for bats. Endless hidden nooks to explore and scramble, sooooo much fun! 1999- Chalone Camp to High Peaks A wonderful place. Bear Gulch caves were closed at the time due to El Niño floods. | |
