Phantom Spires offers great 1-2 pitch climbing on excellent granite in the South Lake Tahoe region only a short distance from Lovers Leap. A mixture of knobby faces (aka - chicken heads) and demanding crack systems offer a variety of climbing challenges for the 5.6-5.11 climber. There are three main spires that range from 100 to 200 feet tall. A fun and challenging goal is to "summit" all three spires in a day. Are you up for the challenge?
