Typical high / low (°F) and days with rain or snow, 1991–2020. Measured at Victorville, CA, 19.5 mi away at 2,880 ft. The station sits about 1,000 ft lower than this place, so expect it a little cooler here. Source: NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991–2020.

Porno Pinnacle is a climbing area on Bureau of Land Management land within the Barstow Field Office in California. It sits among a cluster of other climbing spots, so it works well as a stop in a day of bouldering and route climbing in the area. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Victorville show April highs around 73°F and October highs around 79°F, while July and August average in the upper 90s. That station sits about 1,000 feet lower than the pinnacle, so temperatures up here run cooler. Warmup Boulder and House of the Setting Sun (aka The Ammo Dump) are both about 0.1 mile away, and Dead Bolt Wall is about 0.3 mile off. For an overnight stay, Sawtooth Canyon Campground is about 0.6 mile away.
