Description
Although actually a series of rocks, they're all pretty similiar in character and just easier to describe as one - so here we go:
Luther Spires are a series of granite spires with easy to moderate climbs established and many more waiting for power-drill-based-attention.
Luther Spires is newly developed and as such, there is still a lot of rock that can break off, but the granite seems pretty sturdy beneath.

Getting There
THE APPROACH HAS CHANGED The Log Bridge is gone! The Tahoe Climbing Coalition reworked this October 2019.
Out from the parking lot, you'll find a clearing with a trail heading through it. Follow the trail to the main Tahoe Rim Trail towards the right and across the bridge. Follow the TRT for about 50 yards and then cut left across a gentle rise where the trail traverses up the hillside for about 15 minutes until you find yourself directly beneath the spires. Then the trail get steep until you find yourself at the base of two spires. Jackass is the intimidating bolted route on the left spire and Just Jerry is to the right.
