Climbs the Southwest ridge of North Nesakwatch Spire. Approximately 6 pitches.
Approach: Scramble up a shallow chimney (loose blocks) with dead trees until reaching the top of a small pinnacle.
Pitch 1: Climb broken 5.8 cracks until able to belay on a ledge underneath a short finger crack.
Pitch 2: Climb the finger crack until reaching another ledge that overlooks a ramp.
Pitch 3: Drop down onto the ramp and climb straight up 5.8+ cracks until reaching a slab that has two wide cracks.
Pitch 4: Climb one of the wide cracks (left is perhaps easier), and then slabby and blocky terrain to reach the ridge.
Pitch 5: Blocky terrain and 3rd to 4th class scrambling.
Pitch 6: Climb the broken headwall cracks (5.8ish) until able to reach blocky terrain.
Pitch 7: A blocky traverse (fairly loose) under a deep notch (unpassable on the ridge) in the ridge gets you to the summit.
