Description:
The most obvious route up Spearhead starting in the middle going up through the route's giant namesake. After turning the roof in the Sickle, make an anchor in the groove 20 ft above. The traverse right from this point can be 5.7 or harder depending on your route finding. Many people have found a bolt to clip part way across this 70 ft. runout section, other gear is harder to find. This is a fantastic route with wild exposure.

Clean and Fun. The sickle was outstanding.
Totally fucked up the descent and had to rap off of horns on the NW side of Spearhead
