Don't go all the way to Spire Col. There's an obvious difference in rock color and quality; almost like someone started a new project building Peppermint Peak.

Finding the route, however, was not easy. Unable to identify the line, we just picked what looked climbable and ended up climbing something that bore no resemblance to the cryptic description in Rowell's AAJ article and required a decent amount of aid in the upper pitches.
Can anyone identify Rowell's South Face route on sharperblue's photo above? (awesome photo by the way, wish I saw it before we headed there!)

Deb, are you suggesting to drop down this ridge? Looks difficult. This is the view from Peppermint.
