MapDescription
On the far left of the west side, climb an easy arete/ridge to the summit.
Mostly class 4 scrambling with a few technical sections at the start and near the top of pitch 1. Seemed a bit stiff for 5.6. The final ridge traverse is cool but no harder than class 4.
Protection
Pro to 3".
From the top anchor one can (having long enough rope) rappel to any anchor and TR any Upper Spire route.
Usually descended in two raps, one from summit to a huge ledge, and another from there to the ground next to the west face. Both rap stations are bolted.
