Base of the third pitch, great view! Lots of room!
When you're 6' and you say you want to do the wormhole, you get laughed at.
Looking up through the worm hole. It's a tight squeeze.
Here's a picture of the infamous "step-across." This is my first time up Spire 4; on lead, no less. I'm a tall, spindly freak, so I could spend all day between the two summits, but short people usually have to think for a few moments before their "leap of faith." This picture is a change from the traditional "butt shot," since this is actually a "crotch shot." :-)
Looking up "pitch one" if your doing it as 3 pitches or Just Scramble up about 30 feet up to a bolted anchor.

A tight squeeze!
