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 Tahoe Rim Trail until it a left fork appears as it starts switch-backing uphill. Take the left trail until you find yourself directly beneath the spires.
