Sundeck Spire

Description

Dinky little spire with loose moderate climbing, highlighted by an unforgettable topout. A fun partner to Sinagua Spire.

P1: Grovel up a strange low-angle gully (4th class) to a juniper belay at the notch.

P2: From the notch, climb the featured east face (5.6). Some of the pro is questionable, but there's a bolt here and there to help out. Finally, the main attraction: pull the roof on glorious patina jugs, a wildly acrobatic finish that lands you atop this aptly named summit.

Rappel: 90 feet straight down to packs.

Location

See area page for approach directions. This route starts in a gully on the northeast side of the tower. (This gully separates Sundeck and Sinagua spires).

Protection

Light rack to 2", plus a couple 3-4" cams if uncomfortable in the gully. Single 60m rope.
