A proud pinnacle of rock, one of two prominent points seen directly to the east of the Topp Hut. It is a relatively lesser known crag in the Organs, with only the briefest mention in Dennis Jackson's 2006 NM guidebook, and a vague description of a route on the NW ridge in Ingraham's guide. Climber's heading to the Lesser Spire can get the feeling of climbing the unknown. As viewed from Southern Comfort Wall there are some inviting big-cracks on the north-west face. The south face is steep and shaded and offers a few excellent climbs and more potential. A rewarding tiny summit makes for a great outing.
Getting There
Approach from the Topp Hutt and hike directly to Southern Comfort Wall. Continue up the canyon wading through brush on a loosley defined trail which leads to a narrow canyon between ORP and Lesser Spire. Allow 1.5 hrs for the approach for the average hiker.
