Just got to Arizona from the South Bay area and catching up on mudncrud. Looks like we are ships in the night Sabuber. How long are you in the area?
I cant believe people recommending such niche crags for the first time at Pinns. Good access and climbing? Yes. But the classics are good to get you hooked on climbing the park.
If you're in the south bay into the new years and theres 3+ days of sun/no rain, sandstone TRing is always a blast. Castle Rock and Mt Diablo are great for easy TR access. If you just have a half day, Guadalupe (hicks road area on MP) and Lexington rocks are fun for a few hours. Unlike sandstone and more like Pinnacles they could be climbed wet but they would be slippery. Unless youre visiting in Santa Cruz stay away, it is not a good climbing spot.
After the rains, I would suggest a long chord for anchor and a 70m rope and you could TR most things on Discovery wall.
Every place I've recommended require no leading but potentially a rap into lower anchors for TRing. Hope I wasn't too late to help.
Sabuber, there are so many formations and routes that might fit your parameters that it's hard to comment without writing an essay (which I kinda did by way of the '07 guidebook).
I'd suggest that you give Discovery Wall a try but that you also leave a few hours to wander around the place and check other stuff out?
Agreed with everything above from Brad. Broken clock...accurate... twice a day... etc
Was walking the beach today and saw something that reminded me of pinnacles
At first I thought this was an update on Flake don't break at Snake Bend.
