Enjoy!

Very nice video. I own a hard-to-find Ks Spire badge, but have failed twice on Tokaloo Spire--right at the start of that unprotected horizontal crack. What's the secret?

Well, I can’t tell you....looked daunting as I passed it but I just did Tokaloo rock.

Doh, my bad. In any event, an admirer of all your MRNP adventures.

It looks fun to give it a go (not solo) so if you're interested let me know....you can lead.

I'd try it again--but NPS might disapprove of my hardware choices. Some things were just meant to be admired from afar, I guess. smile.gif

Here are a few pictures from our 2009 attempts. I haven't tried since. I'll put up our successful K's Spire climb from 2011(?) later if you're interested.

Nice! So you tried the front side? That crack looks pretty solid.
