Greetings from the Black Hills!
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.

The Wormhole
Climbers on Spire Four - taken from Spire Three.
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.
Mt Goat..."Looking at You ! "
Step Across / "split" in Spire 4
Spire Four as seen from Spire Five.
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
Spire 4 from top of East Gruesome. South Tower on the left. See the climbers?
