We decided to finish off the last of the Destiny Wall climbs yesterday.
Miller Time gets my award for one of the poorest constructions in Pinnacles.
It is filthy, has questionable rock and worst of all – as the guidebook says – dangerous.
The climb straddles the line between R and X.
Our second climb of the day gets a bad rap in the description. We both found it interesting and fun up and through the crux. After that it’s nothing to write home about but it’s still a fun way to the top of the wall. A 60 m rope won’t reach the belay bolt at The West Face. A 70m would probably reach - but a body belay is also easily arranged.
Take large nuts and cams to 2 inches. I think this is a good beginner lead for those wanting to place gear, experience some easy runout and get familiar with the variable quality of the mud n crud.
