Golden Nugget Spire


Description 

First off this spire is not in any books I have looked at. If you know the real name of this tower please tell me and I will change it.

This spire is next to the canyon wall and passed when walking to Gold Bar Tower. This spire has a crack that runs through it, offering two routes to the summit. Both of these routes share the last 15' to the summit. It is unknown if the longer route on the side away from the canyon wall has been climbed.


Getting There 

To get to Golden Nugget Spire follow the rim up canyon staying left to an obvious spire next to the canyon wall above you. Hike is 15-30 min.
