History
The hill has been officially known as Le Pinacle since 1978.
In 2013, part of the hill was closed to rock climbing due to the nesting of peregrine falcons on Mount Pinacle.
In June 2014, a 10-year-old child on a field trip went to the emergency room after surviving a 10 metre fall down a crevice on the mountain. Approximately a dozen firefighters were onsite for two hours rescuing the child, although he was not gravely injured.
