After making it up Spire Two for the second time we thought we'd have another go at Spire One.  We chose a different line for the first pitch since I got spanked so badly the year before.  Unfortunately after climbing about 30 feet I got scared off by a thunderstorm.  We returned on May 31, Angela's birthday, to give it yet another try.  This time it wasn't stormy, but man was it cold!  A north wind was blowing at about 40 mph and the air temperature was only in the upper 40's.  This time I didn't let the first pitch get the best of me--even with the wind trying to blow me off of the upper run-out face!
