This is one of the Peak's best cracks. It is fairly different, it winds around and up and as it does, it goes from near horizontal to overhung, from hands to fingers! Sonso45 took on olympus digital 030106.

Sidewinder was the first recognized 5.11 in phoenix. The oldest is Beegee and was thought to be hard 5.10 at the time.The crack to the right is Deliverance 11c. It use to have 5 bolts but purists choped the top 2 1/4 inchers because they interfered with sidewinder. This photo was taken by Dale Fox on my onsite attemped.

Some of the largest bolts that you will ever see at a climbing area are at the top of Lost Nuts at Pinnacle Peak. Lost Nuts and its neighboring route are probably two of the least climbed routes at Pinnacle Peak besides Bear Route. I couldn't even clip a standard oval biner onto one of these behemoths. Other routes at Pinnacle Peak still await bolt replacement such as the bolt shown in the lower left corner of this picture. This 1/4 inch bolt and two others of similar quality can be found on Deliverance.

In the gully to the right of the main peak is this good route that doesn't often get done.

The initial crack section seems to be the hardest part of this climb but the mental climbing above can be sketchy.

Many a climber has struggled with this crack. I warm up before attempting Deliverance. Dale took this picture with his new high tec camera.
