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." :-)

Base of the third pitch, great view! Lots of room!
Looking up "pitch one" if your doing it as 3 pitches or Just Scramble up about 30 feet up to a bolted anchor.
