Access Issue: Closures
Details
Seasonal closures Feb. 15-July 31. Per the Denver Post:, the Cathedral Wall and all areas above the Loch Vale-Sky Pond Trail are closed to off-trail travel! Per this RMNP website, "Initial closures now occur in Feb. 15 and April, when raptors return to the region and scout for nesting sites. Areas containing general habitat preferred by raptors are closed during this time. Once raptors have selected nesting spots, the initial closures are lifted or adjusted. The specific areas which raptors choose for nesting sites are closed."
For additional information about raptor closures, please visit the Rocky Mountain National Parks area closures website.
General NPS climbing regulations for RMNP posted here.

Description
The following description is the one reported by the FA party. Longer ropes will make short work of this route.
Pitch 1: Start just right of the prow of the ridge, and climb a long pitch via faces and cracks up to the right to reach a large ledge.
Pitch 2: step right and climb cracks and a chimney for another long pitch to a belay right on the arete of the ridge.
Pitch 3: climb up the face and ridge (easy 5th), with some exposure to the left, for about 100'.
Pitch 4: continue up a short corner to a ridge, and follow it for 2 easy long pitches to the summit.
Descent: climb down to a small notch to the east, from where a 150' rap reaches a gully. Scramble UP this gully to a point where you can cross the ridge to the right. This is the ridge connecting the spire with the massif. Descend the scree gully back to the lake.
