Nice write-up Pete [link],

The Pinnacles themselves without a doubt deserve a 3* for quality of rock. It is possible to spend a good hour going back and forth swapping cameras and bags just on this lower section! Some airy shots!

Later on, watch out for the flaky rock above the heather bashing, (only if one strays too far left).

The top section, specifically when confronted with the "polished looking groove" or the probably VDiff climb is particularly tricky. With a scramble of this grade and relatively lengthy character, it is best to ensure that you've bagged enough stamina and a few climbing moves up your sleeve and practiced perhaps on some other Grade 2 classics beforehand.

Route finding throughout is not easy, although with good concentration and some common sense, Ashton's guide is descriptive enough. Fantastic rock though, perhaps if there was a grade 2.5 this would be it's flagship route?
