Description Suggest change

Spike has good climbing on solid rock, using big holds and a steep crack, directly up to the start of Jug Handle’s second pitch. I led Carol Smith up this pitch, May 29, 1988, when we were attending Mountainfilm in Telluride. The route name comes from later guidebooks, in which the FA was stated to be in 1995 or 1992.

Since 10/79, I’ve been climbing on the Ophir Wall and in Cracked Canyon, sometimes on undocumented routes.

Location Suggest change

A few feet right of the start of Jug Handle, this route climbs up to reach the start of Jug Handle’s second pitch. 

Protection Suggest change

A standard rack, including hands sizes for the crack. Rappel, or continue up Jug Handle.
