Description

Tasty little spire in a hidden gully between Twisted Tree and Breaking Wave

Getting There

Chessmen Approach. Go to Twisted Tree then scramble into a gully behind the formation, on the opposite side of Kenyon's Shoulder. Walk the gully to the right and downhill towards Mount Dallymore about 50 yard and you will be at the base of Quite the Spire.
