Description:
Begin on the left side of the White Spire's West Face. Crux moves are down low and require a long reach into a shallow mono; crank the mono past the first pin to an obvious undercling. Climb up onto the thin ridge right of the undercling and follow it all the way across the face past the second pin. Follow the edge of the face up and left to the summit anchors. Good steep rappel from the summit.

A bit of a maze
I got cornfused on this one, but it ended up ok. Some nice holes the pro is kind of dispersed. I put in some of my own stuff while working it out.

West Face
Fun route. Tricky for people that don't have a long reach to get to the undercling right above the first pin.

One of my favorites
Top-roped, then lead on this day...got it so wired that I free-soloed it many times in the afternoons after I got off of work as a climbing ranger. The top left trending traverse was always exposed and scary.
