A wild campusing start, then mostly offwidth and chimney to the top.   The summit is well worth the grunt.  All day shade. 

  Pitch 1) 10' 5.9 Walk along the limestone ledge until it cliffs out at the base of a big offwidth.  Set up a belay and campus across to a ledge at the base of a big chimney. 

  Pitch 2) 80' 5.9 Go up the chimney.  A #6 Camalot is helpful until you have to leave it behind.  The chimney above is very runout, but secure.  Belay with gear on a nice ledge atop the pillar. 

  Pitch 3) 80' 5.9+ Up the huecoed offwidth with a bolt to a small ledge, then traverse left to the next crack system.  Just before it becomes a chimney there is a hard offwidth move.  Save a #5 or #6 Camalot for the top of this pitch.  Belay in the chimney from 2 bad bolts. 

  Pitch 4) 30' 5.8 Face climb up the higher summit (the one in front of you).  A little run out. 

  Descent: 200' from the summit to your packs.  One of the bolts is bad, but the other one is good. 

North Face

Do A Little Dance

1st pitch has some fun moves w/ decent pro to anchors at about 80ft. 2nd pitch pulls an imposing ow through a roof, 3rd pitch....to summit.

Firecat Spire is an old school climb located in the heart of many towers in the area. It is located just northeast of the Screaming Basengi tower. A prominent limestone ledge leads out from left to right on the north face. This is the start to the North Face route.
