Description 

The spire west of the Firecat alcove.


Getting There 

From the "circle K" Marg's Draw parking lot hike to the T intersection with the cross trail. Continue straight through the light trail and follow path over a series of slabs and drainages hugging the walls as you get closer to the tower. A trail leads up from the last drainage over to the open rock slab leading up to the notch between the tower and the main butress.
