Description 

The first route put up in Jacuzzi Spires. Starts just left of a large dihedral.

Pitch 1: Climb the obvious crack to a large ledge. There is 1 bolt and gear opportunities to set up a belay here, or traverse right to the base of a large dihedral and belay here (gear anchor).

Pitch 2: Head up the right facing dihedral and belay at the notch on top. Small to medium (#4 Camalot) gear is nice on this pitch. Gear anchor - small cams / tricams.

Pitch 3 Traverse ~10' right from the belay and head up a nice crack to the summit. Small to medium gear. Can belay from gear anchor (medium gear) or move over right and belay from rap anchor.

Descent: 1 double rope rappel off the back side of the spire.

Location 

Begins on the left face of the first spire.

Protection 

Small to medium gear. Doubles of #1-3 Camalot are nice.
