Description
P1 (100', 5.8): On the North face, look for an overhanging dirty corner that goes to a large ledge. Should be fairly obvious. Climb this corner. While the corner is quite dirty, the rock is good quality and the moves are surprisingly fun. Belay at a tree or gear anchor on the large ledge.
P2 (80', 5.10): This is a great blue collar pitch. On the belay ledge, move about 30' right. You will see an overhanging offwidth. This is the route. Climb a few steep but juggy face moves up to the crack. Crux is negotiating the overhang and just above as it transitions to more of a squeeze chimney.
Location
The spire should be easy to find as it stands alone and is quite tall (180'). From the North Fork bottom, it is one of the more obvious spires.
Protection
Standard rack plus wide gear for pitch two. We did a macrame rappel off the summit to the large belay ledge and a second NSR off a little pillar next to the ledge.
