Description
The largest of the 3 spires in the notch above the carmack glacier. The first 40 ft is 5 easy and the last 20 ft is 5.6. The rock is a little dirty, but not chossy by southeast standards. Glacier travel skills are a must as there were snow covered crevasses to get to the spires.
Protection
Nuts should be fine for the spire. A couple 15 ft pieces of webbing and rap rings for natural anchors To get to it crampons, ice axe or tools, a snow anchor might come in handy, although we didn't have one. We weren't planning on climbing it and only had 4 slings and just slung some natural features.
