This is a true Pinnacles adventure which was put up during the Golden Age of climbing at the Pinns.  There isn't much protection on any of the pitches, but the climbing isn't hard.  Bring a good head for adventure!

Probably the most difficult move is gaining the face at the bottom of the route.  Climb a steep, mossy 10-15' pinnacle of rock which is leaning against the wall.  From there scramble up the low angle slab enjoying the amazing succulent plants(try not to step on them!) for about 120 feet to a huge meadow and tree anchor.  There is no protection on this pitch.

To start the second pitch, find a dead pine tree which has a somewhat flattened trunk because it has been growing against the wall.  Bearhug the tree to gain the ledge above and belay on sparse anchors.

Pitch three heads up the ramp to the left to a low angle water streak with a bolt.  Clip the bolt and pad up the streak to the top and the two bolt anchor for Toog's Trailside.

Rappel 60' to the base of Toog's Trailside.

The crux is right at the first bolt climbing over a steep overlap.  Continue up the waterstreak past three more bolts.  It's a bit of a run between the 3rd and 4th bolt, but the climb is much easier than the crux.

Rappel 60' back to the start.

This is fun climb on good rock.  Head up and right to two bolts which protect the crux.  From there head back left into the obvious water streak past three more bolts.  It's a ways between the 4th and 5th bolts, but the hold are all there.

Rappel 60' back to the start.
