This is sick! I’m hiking back to UGG this weekend and hoping to do Spearhead unroped. Looks pretty steep from your video, but maybe it’s intensified by the fish eye lens? How would you compare it to the final stretch on Long’s?
Hi Emily, the North Ridge of Spearhead is rated 5.6, it’s a technical climb. The keyhole route on Long’s Peak isn’t a technical climb, it’s a hiking route.
Awesome!

Way harder! Spearhead requires the ability to climb 5.8 moves if you get a little off route.
