This whole location is just beautiful, especially with turning leaves.

Fun Route!

The top of the Totem. It's big enough for 4 people, but any more then that and you'd be pushing it.

An awesome view from the top looking down.

Another Pano showing the valley below.

Tony and Dobie on top of TP on Sat. Feb. 6th -- taken from the top of the Coop, LDE.

The top pitch is on solid rock, protected by a bomber permanent nut which can easily be backed up by a small cam.

Geir leads pitch 2 of the Totem Pole.

Austin cruising around the aerate after clipping the 3rd bolt. This was able 30 seconds before he fell on his first attempt.

Sometimes you just gotto warm up a bit!

approaching the crux above final bolt

The anchors for the first pitch just above the ledge on the left. First pitch is a breeze.... good warmup.

taking a little break before P2.

You are going to love it on the top! Great desert spire, definitely a classic!!

Aaron at the crux of the route. Up to this point, the whole route is maybe a 5.9, until the last 20 feet. The last all trad section is definitely 5.10c~ish.

You need to stand on top when you get up there!

Colton and Aaron at the top of the Totem Spire

Approaching the second bolt that is on the slant side of a great rest ledge.

I could think of other names for this ~(:
