On top o' Sentinel Spire (Colorado National Monument).
About to hit the traverse.
Approach beta for Sentinel Spire (if you rap in).
Chain anchors on Fast Draw. These are the rap route for the spire as well.
Photo of me rappelling off the wrong side of the canyon and realizing that my 150' static wasn't reaching the ground. Rappel on the looker's left side of the tower. <br> <br> Photo by Daniel Gallardo @tenkarausa.
Daniel rappelling to the ledge to approach Medicine Man. I think more people might go climber's left from here, but the tree above gave us the most confidence.
The shadow of the Spire shows the height difference between the North (left) and South (right) sides of the rock. Fast Draw cruises up the chilly North, Medicine Man basks in the sun on the South.
The place to rap is obvious. From Book Cliffs view, go out as close as you can to the spire. A tree right at the lip provides a good anchor. Rap no more than 100 feet to a fat ledge below, and follow cairns down.
Spires don't get much better.

Finish it.
