Description:

fun, classic face climbing. Cruxy at the second clip...bring your long armspan! The main crux is about halfway up and requires a very balancey high-step. Follow the bolts closely to earn the 10c...otherwise this climb can be 5.9 in spots.

5 out of 5 stars Wrestling match

Yea it was hard to get past the second bolt. Werd corner move thing. Then you'd really have to get after it to finish this steep line.

5 out of 5 stars Lead it for my wife

My wife was captured when she first saw Morning Glory Spire. She looked at me and asked, "will you lead that for me? I want to climb it."

It was a great climb. Its worth having someone hike out to get the whole spire and you in the camera's viewfinder.
