A nice rap anchor on the spire summit, made out of indestructible aircraft cable.

The 1st rappel lands you at nice stance in a gully at the end of your rope (60m). From here, traverse across the slab (yellow) and then hike down the gully (pink) to return to your packs. This avoids a 2nd rappel from the tree with tat lower in the gully.
Nate A. leading the last pitch. Awesome exposure.

The first pitch of East Side. Start up a right-facing corner with a hand crack. Where the route changes direction, climb a 20'-long wide crack, and continue up the corner to a big ledge.
