Details
2023 info: jeffco.us/1531/Alerts-Closures
The Cathedral Spires area, including Block Tower, Cynical Pinnacle, Snake Buttress, the Dome, Hall of Mirrors, Sunshine Wall, and Poe Buttress, are closed annually starting March 1 for raptor nesting. After careful monitoring of nest sites, Jefferson County Open Space opens certain areas of Cathedral Spires and maintain spot closures for active nests through July 31st. Check back periodically during times of closure for updates: jeffco.us/open-space/parks/…
Note, JeffCo Open Space has notified us that access to The Bishop and Poop Point (along with all the Cathedral Spires Area) currently goes across JeffCo OS land. Despite information in some guidebooks (published or soon-to-be-published), the entire Cathedral Spires area is subject raptor nesting closures. Please be aware of the hefty fines associated with failure to observe these regulations.

Description
This is kind of fun if you are in the area, but the crack is not great. The crack takes pro all right, but it does not have the best jams. It is not a hard climb, yet you might as well top rope it as it is easy to do so. The slab portion is not very hard.
Location
This route is just to the right of Trifle Dicey. You go up a mellow slab to a hand crack that starts going over a small roof. You follow the crack up to a tree and then go up a slab, past a bolt, to the top. You can rap from the anchor at the top. It is best to rap to climber's left down Trifle Dicey.
