Once surmounting the opening moves you will be cruising up the arete.  The crux could be bypassed to drop the grade by starting on top of the boulders to the right.  The starting handhold is a quarter inch lip that is barely reachable by a 5'7” tall person.  Crank up on the handhold and gain a foothold to the right.  Move towards the arete below the small roof and then cruise up the arete to the top.

The Risque Pinnacle is located 100 feet from the West end of the Way Down Rocks outcrops. From the top it appears as a large buttress jutting out from the flat topped top of the cliff band. This wall is North Facing but open and Airy. There are 6 distinct routes in the the 5.4 to 5.7 range. Aside from a little lichen the rock is clean and solid. There is still the opportunity to put new routes on both the left and right sides for those who find exploring a rewarding effort.
