The three spires on the north side of the Road 10 Rocks were first climbed on Fathers Day, hence the names. Solo up the face above the notch between this tower and The Paterfamilias, the upper bulge is tricky.

A small, beautiful route with sustained climbing on small pockets and edges. Extremely high quality.

A powerful start to sustained cross-throughs and deadpoints with unforgettable holds and movement, this one packs a lot of quality climbing into its small stature. An obscure classic! Wall gets shade around noon in the summer.

The Dirty Hippie is the most imposing spire of the group, with a distinct bulbous midsection. A tattered tie-dyed t-shirt found near the base on the day of the FA provided the name.

Sustained, well-protected crimping on the shorter uphill face of the spire. Start on a small pillar on the left-hand side and gradually move up and right. The only route on one of the Pinnacles to be rap-bolted, intended to provide a more reasonable outing than most of the other lines up here.

A steep slab bisected by a bulge, which is the crux. This was drilled free on lead, so its rather sporty. The adjacent crack/corner was tried first, but I backed off due to large hollow blocks.

Isolated from the main cluster of pinnacles, this pillar is separated by a chimney from the adjacent cliff. Start on the southwest side, chimney up to the notch, and pull over the crux bulge onto the flat summit.

Solo up the center of the short uphill face into an easier groove. A Fathers Day FA inspired name.

The smallest and easiest of the towers. Solo the uphill face over a small bulge.
