    TR: London Spire 9-25

    Hope you guys aren't tired of the climbing tr's yet.

    If you've ever driven north on I-15 from Ogden to Brigham you've probably seen the huge rock spires on the west side of Willard Peak. 10-12 pitches of 5.4 to 5.9 climbing depending on route and how you string them together.


    They look cooler from the highway, but here's an idea:


    First view in the light this morning:


    Getting there:


    Time to rope up:






    We ended up just doing a lot of short roping to save time on an already long day.
    Good views:


    The usual looking down at my foot shot to show the exposure:


    The top:


    After that a super fun 3 hour walk off on death scree that has been the highlight of my week.

    Kick ass. Those are some of the prettiest/burliest rocks in Utah.

    Great Pics!!! Way to capture the beauty & the exposure.

    I’m surprised you didn’t run in to all of the rattle snakes that frequent the area.

    I see the guy before you, who crapped himself climbing up there, left his soiled underware on the pole.
    I want a 6" travel 20lb MTB. I found the 20lb MTB, but only good for riders under 87 pounds.
