The summit area of Pinnacle Butte NE consists of seemingly countless dark breccia pinnacles, spires, and outcrops like these. Some are climbable, but climbing many of them would verge on suicidal.
Here, two formations frame a view west to the jagged ridge that joins Pinnacle Butte NW to the main summit of this spectacular massif.
