The Silly Pinnacle is a climbing area in California's Sequoia National Park, inside the Sequoia-Kings Canyon Wilderness. The National Park Service manages the land. The area's five routes are all trad climbs, and they range from about 5.8 to 5.10. The easiest is Fisher Traverse, and the Silly Pinnacle Direct, Indian Walk and Squirrel Crack are all at 5.10. The Route 5.10s are the hardest here, and the routes are named for their own direct lines, like the Silly Pinnacle Direct. The Race Crack Area and the Valhalla Area - Main both sit within a quarter mile. The Right side climbing area is about half a mile away. For overnight stays, Potwisha Campground is roughly 6 miles off.
