Comments: Watched out for the bees. On 09/01/2009, we were attacked by bees after we rappelled down from the top on our way to retrieve our packs at the start of the climb. The bees hive was located appx 50 yards down from the base of the rappel, along the edge of the rock face. There is an alternative path if you head out from the spire a bit and then down and around to the base of the climb. Awesome climb.

Comments: I thought the crux was not at the top, but at the middle, about 75 feet up, going up and left at a roof instead of right. Nice route.

Comments: 02/03/2009 - There is a nice bolted route (10d?) with a couple of roofs 10 feet left of The Nipple.
There are two bolted routes with shared anchors 10 and 14 feet left of Duck Soup. The first route is a challanging face climb, the second is a nice climb on the arete.
Note the picture taken on this page with a few black lines to show the routes.
