Crooked Arrow Spire is the attractive tower semi-attached to Parriot Mesa. It is visible when driving north on River Road while passing by Parriot Mesa.
Getting There
Hike up the approach to Parriot Mesa. Traverse right along the base of the mesa until you reach the tower. No fun.
Thought the route was great fun ,really liked the classic chimney . the guide book discription is not very accurate .Its two good pitches to the gap, and the bolt ladder is longer(more bolts)
RE: pitch one; We made it to the gap in one 60 meter pitch. Unique pitch, chimneying and jamming 50 feet back in the chimney. It seemed more like 5.9 R.
Can anyone give a better discription. Eric's old school aid description doesn't make it sound that great. It looks so cool i'd like to know what it's like. Thanks

I did the awful hump to the base a few years ago. The first pitch is an awful looking squeeze chimney. We brought nothing big(not sure if anything would fit) and we were light duty so we bailed.
If you loved leading Honeymoon Chimney on the Priest, the first pitch is for you.
