West Side, Pinnacles National Monument
10:00 am - 3:00 pm
The Rockpile Rendezvous will celebrate the legacy of conservation and the stewardship ethic that climbers have practiced at Pinnacles over the last 70 years. Pinnacles offers a variety of recreational and educational opportunities, and with your help we can showcase these opportunities.
It is our goal to responsibly share these resources with the surrounding communities by partnering with selected businesses and organizations to provide information on climbing at Pinnacles and throughout the region. This event will be a great chance for climbers to connect with each other and for non-climbers to immerse themselves in the climbing culture at Pinnacles.
