Description Suggest change

Spires of volcanic tuff located east of Eugene, near Oakridge. The “trails” around the spires see few people so they are overgrown, slippery, steep, and sometimes dangerous. Accessing top anchors and rappelling is the preferred access, though the Arete and Westside of Main Street anchors involve sketchy exposed moves to access. Bring a wire brush to clean moss. 

Getting There Suggest change

Take HW58 to Oakridge. Just past the town, take a right on Kitson Creek RD. Follow Kitson CR for about 4 miles, take a left on FS-565 follow this for about 4 miles and park at small parking area at a gated road.
