SPIRE POINT WEB PAGE UNDER CONSTRUCTION

I have climbed Spire Point twice, both times solo. The first time was a side trip after climbing Dome Peak from Cub Lake. This was an exciting climb since Spire Point is usually considered to be low fifth class requiring a belay for a couple of moves. I found the climb to be quite exhilarating especially near the top where the finger and toe holds were pretty thin. After getting past this crux the summit was only a few blocks higher. I was apprehensive about getting back down the crux but it didn't end up being a serious problem. All in all, a delightful climb! The second ascent was during my 1991 Ptarmigan Traverse and this time I got chased off (literally) by lightning!
