Access Notes
Approaching via Fishhook Creek is not recommended at the moment, seems to be hundreds of recent deadfall.
Rothorn Spire, Class 5.7
Approaching the climb is the crux. You can go from the SE ridge, then traverse low until the crux pitch.
The climbing in easy, but a little ‘Rotten’. I’d recommend a 60m rope, and single rack from .1-#2. You’ll need the small gear for the summit block.
There is a sling wrapped around a horn to lower to the bottom of the pitch, then that’s all I found.
West Pinnacle, 5.10-11+?
All I have right now is a couple pictures, it looks like it’ll go free, with marginal, small pro. Most of the climbing looks to be on rotten rock. Alternatively, looks like a horn near the top can be lasso’d?
