Routes in John's Pinnacle

Start in the middle of the east face of the pinnacle (which looks over Ali's and Fang Buttress). Tough crack R of arete to small roof at 4m. There's a RB on the lip and another up higher, it's wise to stick-clip the first.

As for H to BR then trend L to roof, BR on lip, then up middle of face with high BR.

Start at the arete just R of Allez. Up to BR then into crack which takes you R around the corner.

Up the juggy wall on the north face of John's pinnacle, close to Denim Wall. Bad pro and rock but if that doesn't put you off at this grade then it's a nice summit to bag.

Start on the west face of the pinnacle. Stick clip bolt, veer R, then back L. Apparently has a fragile undercling.

Arete 2m R of Nostalgia. Straight up to the overhang's highest point. From ledge finish up juggy wall. No pro.

Up Shoadee for 4m, then traverse L to brief ramp (BR). Up middle of black wall.

Start just left of the SW arete of the pinnacle. Hand traverse R to shallow corner on R side of arete, and up it to slopy finish.

Start down R of Shoadee. Small roof to stance then L and up a grey streak just R of Shoadee.

Start at the large flake topped with sharp, broken rock, a few metres down from the start of Shoadee. The difficulties ease soon after pulling through the steepness, then trend slightly right to join the corner of Shalimar.

It seems unlikely that this route wasn't done earlier, but the only route written up in the vicinity that I can find is "Let Me Cry" (graded 25X).

Start 1.5m L of the SE arete (i.e., start 3.5m L of Allez). Tough start then veer L into a short groove which is just L of the centre of the face. Finish R.

Start and finish as for Shalimar, but climb the R arete of the face (just L of Allez).

Start 4m L of Let Me Cry. From the ground climb up to thin R leaning and L facing flake and continue up to ledge. from this join groove which is shared with Shalimar and finish up left. Spaced wires.

"Start variant 2m right left of Let Me Cry" - whatever that means!
