Description

There is a prominent spire at the uphill (north) end of the Rock of Ages crag. There are two long moderate routes that climb to the summit of the spire. There is an intermediate anchor on the right hand route to facilitate a a two rappel descent with a single 60 meter rope.

Getting There

From the base of Rock of Ages, hike one minute uphill to a shallow alcove on the right side of the formation where both routes start.

See the trail map.
