Has this rock been climbed before

I've been eyeing a spire of rock about 4 miles hike up Browns Creek by Mt. Antero. Has anyone ever heard of it being climbed, or have any info on it?

i have not climbed it, but i spoke with someone at the gear shop in BV, probably 15 years ago, who told me about it. supposedly it is pretty good. i think he might have called it the great white throne, or something like that (???).

Yes. Yes. Have not been there myself but friends have climbed it.

There are several routes on White Mountain Spire. The main route is .10+R and 8-pitches on the left in the obvious system. The last pitch is the crux - the actual summit is the left of the two summits in the photo. There's also a .12A to its right, shares the first 2 1/2 pitches before heading right a bit. Another .10+ route to the right of that.

And yes, the rock is very good ... more like sierra alpine granite then rocky mountain granite.

Ping me for more info....

Thanks for the info guys. MikeS also sent me this info because he couldn't get it to post in the forum:

"I used to live in Salida and climbed that formation several times, as have many folks. There's a 10+ route that follows an obvious weakness up the S face to a splitter fist crack through the summit block. Another project (at least it was back in 2005 or so) climbs the slab to the right of the standard line and into another crack system above. Mid 5.12 I think. Great adventure, go climb it! (You know you can also drive to it quite easily via the Baldwin road)"
