Big Country Spire, 5.9+

2nd Pitch- 30m- 5.9+/ Move the belay up and left to the base of the off-width with another fixed anchor. The off-width crack is protected by bolts on the left wall. Straddle the tight off-width taking advantage of outside features when they appear. If you are not well schooled in true off-width technique this pitch will feel a lot harder than 5.9. It is probably a bit sandbagged. Near the top it eases as you enter an open cave in the tower, the “room” as the FAers described it. Make note of the rap station out on the right wall for the rappel.
