Fun but very short climb. Very picturesque. Bring a very light rack. I would scramble and downclimb if going again. To avoid rope drag, there is a nice belay stop with a roof just before turning the corner and climbing thre last 15' to the summit

no rock climb
didn't climb all the way to the top but hiked to the base- ditto jjcate
Great little summit. Nice airy climbing but not too hard. My wife and I climbed directly to the summit from the notch. Plenty of low 5th class options. Also climbed 12,660A and Skyscraper from Rollins Pass.
A climb I'll always remember. My little brother and I scampered up this (hadn't even really known that we'd find such a neat spire) and then scampered down to rejoin our worried father at the base. If memory serves I was wearing nike high tops and he had on chucks - neither of us would've known how to use a rope if you'd handed one to us - and it was raining lightly. I remember standing with one leg each on the wobbly summit rock (interesting to hear that it's still wobbly!) for a long-distance photo. Great climb.

Route Climbed: Devil's Spiral Date Climbed: Spring '04Great little route. Pretty easy. 4th class but has great exposure for such a little climb. Nice hike from the Grand County side too.
