| Diggler | Great little crag!  Date Climbed: Aug 16, 2011 | |
| Decided to do a day trip here w/ Faith to check it out- very glad we did! Did Lightning Crack/West Face Direct (Grand Central Tower- GLAD we didn't disturb the huge beehive!!! Lightning Crack a fun, zig-zaggy sandstone crack!) & Martian Direct (Martian Tower- sporty!). Warm there, but consequently felt like the great summer day it was! Could see returning at some point for more. | |

| TimmyC | Great rainy-day option | |
| And it's only two hours 'n change from home. AND you can make a pit stop at Owens Meats in Cle Elum! Last climb there was on closing day last fall, on our way to Oktoberfest in Leavenworth. Might be there this weekend. | |

| 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. | |

| AJones | On the way to Leavenwort | |
| 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! | |

| 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. | |

| reboyles | Several Routes | |
| 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. | |

| jtostenr | Martian Slab? 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! | |

| Johnhl94563 | Route Climbed: Martian Tower Date Climbed: 7/16/04 | |
| 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... | |

| darinchadwick | Route Climbed: Enough to have a great time! Date Climbed: During the 90's mostly. | |
| 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. | |

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