I would rate it "modern" A3.I got scared climbing this formation.You are about to enter a website that contains explicit material (pornography). This is a very beautiful, unique, and exciting climb. Up aways on the climb is a "chicken" bolt.(no hanger).pheeew!.finally something solid.then up to the top to the anchor, which isn't on the actual summit, but down aways.you have to scramble up and balance on a tiny stance for the summit photo (hope it aint' a windy day.), and then downclimb to the anchors. you could pretty much bang a thin piton in anywhere in the horizontal fractured shale.sometimes you would bang in a pin, and sand and dirt would come down 10 or 15 feet to the left or aning large sections of this rock had shifted over/around from the pin placement. We walked around the small spire looking for signs of the route.no pin sacrs.no crack systems.finally we spotted an anchor up near the top, so we just started to nail up the shale. ![]() we parked our cars and started to hike around a bit, and soon found Long Dong Silver. we drove around for HOURS to the south of the highway.gave up.and descided to just TRY driving around NORTH of the highway.we started to see rock strata that looked sort of like what we were looking for. it's actually NORTH of the highway.(small detail.).SO. ![]() ![]() When yo see the picture of the dude standing on the wee summit of this pointy spire in Eric's Book, how can you NOT want to climb the thing? One BIG problem is Eric's description of how to get to the climb. NOTE: This area has been marked CLOSED due to human caused erosion by local BLM. ![]()
