Description Suggest change

A giant thick spire is one of the lowest feature in the marsupials. While being one of the most accessible features in the marsupials, it only gets a couple ascents a year. A few easy adventure routes lead to the top, but a majority of the rock on the Kangaroo is impressively difficult looking and not yet developed. This will more than likely host some of Smith Rocks hardest sport climbs in the future.

Getting There Suggest change

Walk along the canal until you and see the 200ft tall spire that is thick
