About Pinnacle Peak:
| Since the 90's this mountain has been closed down due to a private housing development and golf course. But has been re-opened for recreational use. This area is one of Phoenix's own classic granite areas. Many classic crack and bolted routes. There are access restrictions on the lower east wall, do not climb there. All signs and restrictions must be obeyed. This is a privilege for us to be able to climb here again. |
| Nearest town or city: | Scottsdale |
| Directions: | From Mesa, Tempe, Phoeinx, Take the 101 north to Pima road north. Turn east on Happy Valley Rd. Turn north on Alma school Rd, Turn into Pinnacle Peak Patio; a parking area and trailhead are located at the west side of the road below the east flank of the peak. |
| Latitude, Longitude: | 33.70000, -111.86440 |
| Access Issues: | Scottsdale has a park office and enforces the hours of operation clearly posted. No dogs or bicycles are allowed on the trail. Hiking, horseback riding and rock climbing will reward spectacular views of the valley. The less fear & more gear, the greater the Reward! Rock climbing, for experienced climbers with appropriate gear, is permitted in three areas of the park with a variety of routes and skill levels. |
