Upper Spire

East side of Upper Spire, "Thanksgiving", 5-8. Yes, done on a Thanksgiving day a few years ago. Maguire & Lyons. The dashed right-hand start is 5-7R, however, it does not bend left into the dihedral as shown, but goes up and passes that first bolt/hanger. The dashed left-hand alternative in middle-route is 5-9/10 and no gear, so is a toprope variation. Importantly, the route is just over 30m long, so with a 60m rope, the belayer must tie in to the end of the rope, and, either the belayer needs to be a little uphill when leader lowers, or the leader needs to lower a little uphill. If two are rapping off from the belay, use infinite care in making sure there are stopper-knots in the ends of your rope.
