Swift Creek Spire Rock Climbing

AKA Balanced Rock
This tower was first climbed in the 60's or 70's by a since extinct group known as the Mountaineering Club of Idaho Falls. For some reason they felt it was good to climb the route via a bolt ladder, leave a register on top, and then chop their ladder on the way down. I bleieve they dubbed it "Balanced Rock"

I propose that we give it a new name. No, we have no authority to do this, but then again we never had the authority to name it Balanced Rock. For the time being I'm gonna call it Swift Creek Spire. If you have another one that seems fitting, jot it down in here and perhaps, by the time a guidebook comes out to this area, it will stick. Balanced Rock is the most overused name in the country, and the Mountaineering Club of Idaho Falls should be embarrassed that they dubbed it so. The name is so cliched that there is another Balanced Rock in Star Valley, and I can think of three others just in Wyoming while a quick search on Mountain Project pulls up three more. Also, this is not a "Rock", its a tower or a spire, and there need be no "Balance" because the limestone strata is fixed in place. SO, I'm hereby submitting this as Swift Creek Spire (let the howling begin).
