| Excellent route and a nice introduction to RMNP alpine climbing. The last technical pitch was memorable due to the classic hailstorm that hit just as I arrived at the belay. My partner, cursing me and the gods themselves, struggled to get a cam out just below the belay while getting belted by monster hail and rain. The descent is slicker than shit when wet. | ||

| We, rkymtn and I, got an early start on what was a beautiful fall Colorado day. The aspens were just past their peak color but still quite a show. The route to the upper valley where Spearhead is located was straight forward. The entire beta you need is in the route and mountain pages. The scramble up the talus slope wasn't too difficult but did have some exposure. With 30-40 mph wind gusts we had to carefully time our moves at the summit. Excellent views of the Glacier Gorge valley. | |

| Climbed the entire route and got snowed on while unroping 100 ft from the summit. Long approach, very nice bivy shelter, spectacular climb, and horrendous descent. In other words, stellar alpine climb! | |

| A great rock climb in RMNP - I was glad that my partner got the chimney/stemming lead on the next-to-last pitch, but then I realized I got the traverse on the final pitch, so it all evened out. We were racing weather, and I remember the descent being unplesant, but what a great climb! | |

| I had a great time on this climb -- I agree, the exposure on the last pitches is amazing! | |

| This was a nice moderate climb. The crux pitch exposure was awesome! Overall - another good day in RMNP for Jared & I. | |

| My 1st alpine trad climb!!!! What a hoot. A long day but a great day. The views from the Spearhead are unparalleld. You are literally surrounded by giants. Check out my pic on my profile page. That's me on top. The summit is tiny, overhangs into space and sends shivers down the spine in more ways than one. A must see in CO | |

| No, this rock does not disappoint! Surrounded by giants that are better off for having the Spearhead in their midst. | |
