Short but sweet face route with four bolts over 30 feet or so.

The narrow (but larger than a squeezer) chimney to the right can be incorporated into the face moves, or climbed on its own.

A class 4 scramble to the left of this route gets you to the anchor area, which gives access to this route, and the other unnamed 5.8 toprope-only route to its left.

Unnamed

This is a short but super fun route with interesting and powerful movement. Begin up a leftward ramp. From the top, you can clip the first bolt. Climb technical and powerful slab/face moves to the crack and up it, where the holds get more positive with big sporty moves that eventually go left on knobs and scoops. Doesn't let up until you're hugging the giant knob!

You can decrease the run-out between the 3rd bolt and the anchor with a .5 cam in the horizontal. I was able to make a blue totem work, but a bigger cam would have been better.

It's short, but this route packs a punch and is well worth doing! Twin Owls is more sheltered than the main spires and can be a good place to escape the wind.
