Description Suggest change

Pronounced "schpahs-fogel", German for "Jester", this route is quirky, surprisingly fun, and has a few tricks up its sleeve.

Head up the obvious large water trough over easy 3rd-4th class slab to the first bolt about 50' up, then up the steep section just to the right of the black streaks, clip a bolt with some tat webbing on it, and pull the crux over the bulge, angling up and left. Once you have gained the large ledge, head up the spire over easy 5.7 climbing with Yogi Bear at your back past more bolts.

Descent: If you have a 70m rope, one long 35m rappel will dump you out on easy 3rd class slab. Otherwise rappel down to P1 chains of Ranger Smith to rappelers left.

Location Suggest change

Starts in a large water trough under the lookers left side of Yogi Bear, ascends to the right of a large cave and up the spire to your left (Ranger Smith spire). 

Protection Suggest change

11 bolts to chains.
