Spire Two

Spire Two is the second spire from the left when looking at the Cathedral Spires from the parking lot. This is a large spire, and it requires around 3 pitches to get to the top. This rock and Spire Four are probably the two most commonly climbed spires in the whole area. An excellent 5.4 climbs the east side.

Route:  follow the obvious gully up and right.  The first pitch ends as you turn up and right out of view from your belayer.  Pitch 2 ends further up and inside the gully on a nice belay ledge with chains for a rap.  Pitch 3 begins by squeezing between the blocks and climbing up to a ledge for a bolt protecting a 5.7 face move onto the rock.  End the pitch on this formation, or step across to the larger detached summit further north.

Descend by rappelling from the summit following the East Face route. Two ropes are necessary except for the third pitch needs only one.
