Description:

Moderate route on the north side of the spire. After a grungy but good first pitch you follow an amazing open book to a small roof and a committing top out. Spectacular view!

Routes like this are why i climb

i followed and then led -- 2nd pitch and then the first. muchas gracias a tonya for hanging the rope first -- both pitches look much harder than they are.
