Dinosaur Tower, Potholes (5.8, 2 pitches) -- May 31, 2009 -- My brother and I checked out Peshastin Pinnacles during my road trip before starting starting residency in Fresno. Potholes was a fun climb and the breeze made it pleasant. When we moved on to other lower formations, we found the heat unbearable. We attempted to climb a route on Orchard Rock, but some aggressive bees sent us running for the car.

AJonesOn the way to Leavenwort  Sucess!

On our way from Vantage to Leavenworth, we spent a day climbing at Peshastin and managed to get (near) to the top of a couple of the pinnacles. Interesting routes - a bit spicy in spots!

Date Climbed: Oct 30, 2007

I have been working on a boulder problem on the Orchard rock. Basically I wanted to make a complete lap around it. There are 4 cruxy sequences. When I put it all together I intend to make a trip report out of it and add a route or 2.

Having been snowed off of Rainier twice, we opted to do many of the routes at the Pinnacles over a couple of years in the 70s.

Date Climbed: Apr 8, 2006

Went climbing on one of the slabs, I think it was Martian. Nice routes up to about 5.8, but I'd like to come back and climb some crack!

Johnhl94563Route Climbed: Martian Tower Date Climbed: 7/16/04  Sucess!

Had a good time despite the 100 plus temperature (we climbed between 8am and noon). Managed to get up Diagonal Direct 5.8, Baseball Nut 5.9, and Eat it.



Very interesting rock...

Some of the more obscure less popular routes on Peshastin really have some kick to them. I'll have to consult my old climbing logs and see which routes they were. A friend of ours cracked his ankle falling off that wierd boulder on the first pitch of lightning crack. His father was more than chagrined for harrassing him into leading it.

MoniRoute Climbed: Lots of them Date Climbed: From 1976 to present  Sucess!

One of the few places to climb sandstone in Washington and a good alternative when the weather is lousy elsewhere.

rpcRoute Climbed: West Face/Lightning Crack on GCT. Date Climbed: Spring of 2004  Sucess!

Climbed there only once. It was a very nice route (slab & crack = cool combo). It's cool how you're towering over all these apple orchards below.

Will go back in the spring.

A nice place to climb, did a couple multipitches with Fred Spicker and had a nice time.



Grand Central Tower - West Face / Lightning Crack - Very nice climb, highly recommended.

Martian Diagonal - Bad pro, forgettable climbing.



I'd like to go back to try some of the other classics as well as some harder slabs.

I love the Pinnacles. One of my best friend's family lives right down the street so this has been a favorite spot of mine for years. I haven't been there in a while though.
