Pinnacle is an adventure for fantasy role-playing games published by Mayfair Games in 1986.
Plot summary.
"Pinnacle" is a scenario for character levels 4-5 involving a tournament where the challenge is to climb the Pinnacle, an unclimbable mountain. But the mountain is hollow, and an ancient secret waits inside.

"Pinnacle" was written by Dan Greenberg, with a cover by Stephen Venters, and was published by Mayfair Games in 1986 as a 32-page book. The adventure module was part of the "Role Aids" line.
Reception.
Graeme Davis reviewed "Pinnacle" for "White Dwarf" #90. He commented that ""Pinnacle" has an interesting cover, with three practically-naked people attempting to die of frostbite up a mountain." Davis concluded his review by saying, "The climb itself takes up nearly a third of the 32 pages, and is entertaining as well as challenging. The whole adventure will appeal to a group who prefer investigation and role-playing to simple dungeon bashes, and with a GM who is good at colourful NPCs, it could be a real delight."
