North Quarry / Pinnacle Area is a climbing area in North Table Mountain Park, which sits on county land in Colorado. The park is the surrounding unit, and the land is managed at the county level. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically May and September. At a nearby weather station, typical averages run to highs around 69°F in May and 76°F in September, while July highs average about 87°F. That station sits about 560 feet lower than the quarry, so temperatures up here run a bit cooler. Crater Crag of North Quarry and Sea Cliffs of North Quarry are both climbing areas about 0.1 mile away, and the North Table Mountain Trail starts just as close. For an overnight stay, Clear Creek RV Park is about 1.5 miles off.
