Guido, if that was waiting for me on top of the Spire I would have dragged my a$$, broken ankle or not, up to the top!

Thanks for putting that quote out there. Another one of Brutus' quotes was written on the suit of Munge's right arm....
"...one climb, one pitch, one move at a time."
And, to this date, Munge and Mooch do not have a stitch of PO. I'm pretty immune to the stuff. However, Munge simply looks at the stuff and he breaks out. So, at the risk of sounding prideful.......the rest of you who got it when you went up there to attempt the spire or Fin, you didn't do enough to take preventive measures. ;)
I just sent a friend of mine off on a 3-month climbing road trip out west with these immortal words, which I recall were Brutus': "Watch the weather. Don't drive exhausted. Protect the belay."

I found this article by geologist Walt Vennum in the June/July 1978 issue of Summit. Walt was one of Chuck Kroger's climbing partners and one of his major professors while at Stanford.

Awesome! I wondered if it would be possible to descend all the way down to the Kaweah and wade across when it was low, picking up the good trail on the other side. Must not be that good if these two didn't come back that way.

Actually, wouldn't it be better positioned on the High Sierra Trail, near Panther Gap, pointed southest.......right into the gully between The Fin and Spire. Primo for determining when to blast that gully!
