Description Suggest change

Start in the crack with huge jugs surrounding it, follow this to the top and then take the sweet left angling crack to the top and build anchor in crack. rap off slung horn

Most people do pitch 1 only but if you want to take it to the top then it is not much further or harder.
From the belay climb the OW to chimney that splits Spire 2 & Balcony Point. The second pitch is 35m and goes at 5.6. Takes hand size cams to a #4 and terminates at the gear belay for Jan & Jane. From here you can top out either Spire 2 via the East face, Balcony Point via North Crack or rappel to the ground from the chains above Aspire To.
