| justing | Middle Spire  Date Climbed: Nov 29, 2009 | |
| With new partner Myles, climbed Tyro's Testpiece, Regular Route, Over Easy, and Harding's Other Chimney. Had the place totally to ourselves, perhaps due to a bit of snow on the approach and ample wind. | |

| Mary and I headed to this very nice area on the second day of our trip. We started the day on Upper Spire, climbing Gingerbread (5.7, 2 pitches) and then Up for Grabs (5.8, 2 pitches) to the summit via the exposed North Ridge in fierce wind. We then moved on to Middle Spire and climbed the super-fun Over Easy (5.7) and finished the day on the awesome hand crack of Regular Route (5.8). The crux of the day was navigating the access road in our Toyota Camry. | |

| Climbed with K. Chaltikian - beautiful fall day, warm in the sun, cool in the shade. I led Over Easy and Cockabooty (5.7) and both times KC led up The Prow (5.10b), which was fantastic, though short. Also followed KC on Lean and Mean (5.9) and Penny Candy (5.10a). -- Route climbed: Middle Spire (various) Date: 24-Nov-2005 Followed John on routes : - Tyro's Test Piece (5.5), then the 5.8 chimney - Regular Route (5.8), crack only - Over Easy (5.7) : wild-looking but easy roof, gym-like jugs - Cockabooty (5.7) : some fun liebacking Weather started out warm and sunny, but windy and cooler as a cold front approached, with high clouds. Tioga Pass closed the next day apparently. Fun climbing ! -- Date Climbed: 16-Oct-2005 Route Climbed: Upper Spire Climbed with K. Chaltikian, following on routes below : - Up For Grabs (5.8), awkward start - Jugs Revisited (5.9), fun - Fear of Flying (5.9), hard but good KC then TR'd Crispy Critters (5.10a) from the top of Fear of Flying. I was recovering from a cold, so my climbing could have been better. Very windy day but warm in the sun and clear. | |

| Spent a lazy day at Phantom Spires on Gingerbread and two short bolted pitches on Shark's Tooth. Great area to walk around, picnic, and climb. | |

| Dave Dinnell | Route Climbed: Various routes Date Climbed: Mid 1980's to 2004 | |
| An enjoyable place to camp and climb. My favorites over the years: Fear of Flying, Gingerbread, North Ridge on the Upper Spire. Over Easy was fun on Middle Spire - top-roped Candy Land (serious barndoor sensation on that route) as well. Phantom Wall has some great routes too: Oktober Fest is thin. Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde is a fun and interesting lead. Haven't climbed since 2004 and looking forward to getting back to it. | |
