South Ridge, Red Spire

This climb is not very well-protected and is easily toproped from the chains on top of

Potholes

.

It starts on the southeast edge of Red Spire about 20 feet to the left of

Potholes

. From there, it moves up and to the right past one old pin, over a small ledge to another pin, then finished out on the same last moves as

Potholes

. While I like this climb better than

Potholes

because it is a lot more face climbing and you run less of a risk of sticking your hand in something that really doesn't smell very good (like on

Potholes

), I must say doing it as a toprope the first time as opposed to leading it right off the bat would be wise.

Rap east from the chains on top of the spire.
