This page provides brief info and web links for Oregon Coast Range Pinnacles. These minor summits often involve some form of technical rock climbing to ascend. The northern Oregon Coast Range seems to have more minor pinnacles than the southern coastal range, though plenty of impressive slabby and vertical sandstone formations do exist in the foothills of the southern Coast range.
