Looking up the first pitch or the scramble, depending if you rope up. Easy climbing to climbers right. 5.4 IMO

Halfway out of the wormhole
Summit of first multi-pitch with our kids 8 and 10 years old. Amazing belay stations, highly recommend.

Greetings from the Black Hills!
Looking south towards the Spires from the Harney Peak Trail across the valley. Yellow dashed line is trail from highway, then splitting: Left (in photo, it's a Right on the ground) to Picket Fence. Trail to Harney Peak is at bottom of photo.
Probably a common scene for non-locals. Pulling out the Piana maps every 20 minutes to try to figure out what gulley we were in.

The Wormhole
Route topo with pitch break down, note P1 is only a 5.0 scramble up the 3/4 divide between Spires 3 and 4. Approximate location of bolted anchors noted in red. This picture is taken from the Cathedral Spires main trail from the north side (back side) facing south. Note Spire 1 on the far right.
